Located on the spot where the RMS Titanic was built and launched, the Titanic Slipways and Paddock have been the venue of choice for many global events. Located at the head of the slipways where Titanic and her sister ships were launched, the iconic landmark Titanic Belfast has attracted over 7 million visitors across 145 countries, earning it the prestigious accolade of the World’s Leading Tourist Attraction 2016. At the centrepiece of Belfast’s Titanic story – and Titanic Quarter itself – is Titanic Belfast, the world’s largest Titanic visitor attraction. This included service as a troopship during the First World War, which gained her the nickname Old Reliable. Conceived, designed and built in Belfast, RMS Titanic is steeped in the city’s history. Olympic had a career spanning 24 years from 1911 to 1935, in contrast to her short-lived sister ships, Titanic and Britannic.
