For the last seven years, the vessel has undergone an extensive \u00a39m restoration project and will be open to the public from 1st June.\u00a0 Visitors to the ship will be accommodated via a series of pre bookable tours, details of which are now available on the SS Nomadic\u2019s website on www.nomadicbelfast.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Denis Rooney CBE, Chairman of the Nomadic Charitable Trust said: \u201cWe are delighted to be in a position to start taking tour bookings for the vessel when she opens to the public in June.\u00a0 The SS Nomadic is a totally unique link with Belfast\u2019s rich maritime history and I\u2019m confident that when visitors start arriving in June they will be impressed by the level of detail and craftsmanship that has gone into restoring one of Belfast\u2019s most important surviving ships of the last century.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cFew attractions around the world can claim the direct Titanic lineage the SS Nomadic can and her opening will add another important dimension to the huge success story which Titanic Belfast has helped to drive over the last year.\u201d<\/p>\n

The SS Nomadic was purchased at auction by the Department for Social Development and was transferred to the Nomadic Charitable Trust.\u00a0 The restoration project has been supported by a number of organisations including Heritage Lottery Fund, SEUPB, NITB, Ulster Garden Villages, Belfast City Council, Titanic Quarter and Belfast Harbour.<\/p>\n

The SS Nomadic will be open for scheduled public tours from 10am on Saturday 1st<\/sup> June 2013.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
