Nomadic and Titanic were built along side one another by the same craftsmen, tools and materials.
Welcome to the Nomadic Preservation Society WebsiteThe Nomadic Preservation Society was created in 2006 to promote the history, research and restoration of the SS Nomadic, one of the world’s most important historic ships. Built in Belfast by Harland and Wolff during 1910/11, she was purpose built as the 1st and 2nd class passenger tender to the White Star Line giants, Olympic and Titanic - and on 10th April 1912, she served Titanic on her one and only visit to Cherbourg, France. Over the years, she has carried such people as John Jacob Astor, Margaret (Molly) Brown, Charlie Chaplin, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton to name but a few to such famous ships as Titanic, Oceanic, Olympic, Caronia, Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth. Designed under the guidance of famed Belfast Naval Architect, Thomas Andrews, this proud little steamer has survived to this day as the last remaining ship of the White Star Line. Saved from destruction in 2006 and returned to Belfast, she now lies in dry dock only a stone’s throw from where she was built. She now awaits full restoration back to her original specification by the Nomadic Charitable Trust, a voluntary body. This website contains all there is to know about the SS Nomadic; her design, her service life, her various conversions and how she looks today. But the research never ends and on here is where you will find the latest news as well as a growing public discussion forum. As the world’s leading research organisation into the SS Nomadic, the Nomadic Preservation Society looks forward to welcoming you aboard. Latest NewsNPS MEMBERS MEETING
