Across the Atlantic: Ulster & America - a Shared Story

Long before RMS Titanic sailed for New York in 1912, people, ideas, materials and industries travelled across the Atlantic between Ulster and America. Emigrants carried skills that helped shape the growth of the United States, while expanding American markets transformed Belfast into one of the world’s great industrial cities.

Through stories of revolutionary figures, shipbuilders and Titanic passengers, this display explores the enduring relationship between Belfast and America - from the American Revolution to the age of ocean liners.

Visitors can also enjoy a specially themed USA250 food and beverage offering available throughout the building 26th June - 12th July, including:

• American vanilla ice cream
• Coffee specials in The Galley Café
• American-style cheesecakes at The Pantry
• American-inspired drinks in Hickson’s Point

These limited time offerings truly give a taste of this transatlantic connection!
