The building of the Titanic

The bulding of the Titanic began on 22 March 1909 in the shipyard of Harland & Wolff in Belfast, Ireland.

In the end of the autumn of 1908, the blueprints of the boat were finished. There were studied and drawn under Alexander Montgomer Cailise's and Thomas Andrew's direction. To satisfy the demands of the White Star Line, the yard was modified their stocks.

On March 22 1909, the Titanic rook the yard number 401 and the shell number 3909 04. For the workers catholic irish, this number isn't good. Read in the mirror, this number looks like a disastrous prediction who mean 'no pape" (pas de pape). The historian of the Titanic take it like an extraordinary thing.

Officially, launched on May 31 1911, we must wait March 1912 until the boat took to the sea. A lot of month of works were necessary again. It's what we call the "armament". After this step and tests, th Titanic wasput off to the White Star Line, the 11 april 1912, at 13:30 pm. The boat began his maiden voyage to New York the 12 april at 2:20 am. The Titanic went missing in the depth of the sea.

The new museum "Titanic Belfast"

Belfast is the city where the Titanic was built. It was built from 1909 to 1911. The ship was called "the Unsinkable" however it sank on its first trip. Belfast city created, one hundred years after, the Titanic museum ! The museum building resembles the assembly of fourth boat hulls.

From the sky, the building looks like a white star, which remind people of the operator of the Titanic. The building is covered whith spikes of metal, and when the light play on shards it is reminiscent of moving water. In the museum, there are ten galleries with a lot of interaction. The Titanic museum convey the sound, the smells, the history of shipyard and its creation but also the history of passengers, crew and the "heroes" of this day.

This is presented in a modern and exciting way. If visitors want to bring back a souvenir, they will go to the store of the Titanic, which lies inside the meseum. There are restaurants. The museum Titanic Belfast is a trip. A trip trough time and experience, through triumph and tragedy. Titanic Belfast, a world-class visitor attraction...

The legend tells that an Irish giant, Finn MacCool, wanted to fight against Benandonner, a Scotland giant. But not any boat was rather big to transport them both. So, Finn MacCool decided built causeway to walk in Scotland. Benandonner came in Ireland by the causeway; he was taller and stronger than Finn MacCool, so Finn MacCool became afraid and asked help to his wife Oonag. She taught to disguise her husband in a baby. When Benandonner came in their house and saw the baby, he taught that: if this baby is so big, dad was bigger! He left again, and for makes sure that Finn MacCool didn’t follow him, he broke Causeway behind him.
