My wife and I visited this ship in 2018. The ships interior was fitted with the same styles of the titanic. So if you visit you will get a glimpse as to what the Titanic would have looked like, albeit much more luxurious.
The SS Nomadic deserves far more attention and fame like her bigger sisters, small or not; she’s a symbolic piece of White Star’s bygone era!
😢😢😢😢rip titanic
I had no idea this existed. This is now on my bucket list when i visit Belfast
Thanks for the comment, you’ll have a great time.
I live near it and it certainly should be, it's a really good replica inside.
Thank you for this channel - I have just discovered it and am delighted to binge watch the episodes!
Cheers from Gibraltar 😊
I’m glad you like the channel. Make sure to subscribe to be notified of future episodes 👍🏻
Your videos are so enjoyable. You have a great combination of information...story telling...and humor that just draws me in. Watching your videos is like having someone tell me a story. Your description of everything paints incredible pictures for the eyes of my mind, and I can imagine the events happening as you tell the story. Also, being on location where so many of these events took place is really cool to see. I've been interested in the Titanic and all her surrounding stories ever since she was discovered in 1985. Thank you for producing this series. I can't wait to see what else you come out with.
Thank you for such a great comment. That’s made my day. I’m glad you enjoy the episodes. There will be some new content coming soon 👍🏻.
Just came across your fabulous series. I was in Belfast in March 2013. Unfortunately Nomadic was not open yet and I was really disappointed because I was dying to see her. Lifelong Titanic buff who has been a huge Thomas Andrews fan for long as I can remember and I’m dying to step aboard this amazing little piece of history. Thank you for the video and I don’t blame you for buying stuff at the gift shop because I was surprised I didn’t buy more when I was in there either. Planning a trip back in 2025 so I can see all of the stuff I didn’t get to. I love Belfast.
Thanks for the comment. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. It’s a shame you didn’t get to board Nomadic, fingers crossed for next time you go. You won’t be disappointed.
Amazing as always, thank you for letting me be a part of these videos and getting to experience all the history of Titanic with you.
I absolutely love the music you incorporate! Please continue to make these videos.. I just love them!
Thank you for your comment. The music is pretty awesome. I’m glad you like the episode.
@BeyondTheTitanic I'm thrilled you're still making videos. The deep dives into the lives of the passengers are enthralling.
One of my favorite stories I've heard from titanic is that of the drunk pastry chef. It's a little more lighthearted (all things considered), which is nice once in a while. Maybe someday I'll get to hear you tell it and likely learn a lot more!
the ss nomadic tops everything because of the thomas crapper™ toilet, the best toilet ever™ nothing will ever top the ss nomadic, the sheer epicness of the thomas crapper™ toilet is enough to make every ones mouths drop.
Been waiting for this! Great work as always!
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it.
I am digging your channel. You cover subjects that other channels do not. Thank you!
I appreciate the comment, I’m glad you enjoy the content 😊
@@BeyondTheTitanic PS There are more socially awkward dorks just like you. I am just across the pond. LOL Keep it coming!
Fasinating story
This video deserves more views.
Another amazing episode! There are many amazing Titanic and steamer ocean liner channels but yours is my favorite! It’s a bucket list dream of mine to visit the Nomadic, hoping to finally go next year. Hope you’re doing well, you have an awesome talent for documentaries 🙏 and I just love your humour ✌️🎉
Wow what an amazing comment, that has made my day. Thank you so much. Belfast is an amazing city and the Nomadic is incredible, you won’t be disappointed. I hope you have a great time on your visit.
Very enjoyable video. Thank you for this.
Was on the Nomadic today and it felt like a transportation through time. You could sense the history. Amazing restoration work to achieve this.
I’m glad you enjoyed this episode and your visit to Nomadic.
❤ Thank you so much for this video! Fantastic ❤
You’re more than welcome 👍🏻
Great video! Thank you very much.
I’m glad you enjoyed it 😁
Love your video from Hong Kong 🎉
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
Informative video! I was fortunate to go to the museum in Belfast & see Nomadic around 2015. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to go in her 🥲. I had no idea about her history or that she had only recently returned to Belfast. I’m kind of surprised that she wasn’t saved sooner with the Titanic movie & Robert Ballard finding the ship in the 80s.
Thanks for the comment. I’m glad you enjoyed the episode 👍🏻
I think it was because it was owned by someone, but still surprising NOBODY tried to buy it off the owners.
Excellent in every way. Can not wait for your next one.
Thank you for the comment. I’m glad you enjoyed it 😁👍🏻
That's 2 legends we lost.
I was only there in October 2023 …I also have a copy of a letter from Eva hart a 7 year old who was a survivor of the titanic where she wrote back many letters to school children and relied to everyone. I have subscribed to your channel….love your channel and keep up the good work
Thanks for the comment. I’m glad you are enjoying the channel.
Your videos are great and touch on often forgotten aspects of the titanic story. I've been watching various Titanic themed videos while building my LEGO Titanic and came across your channel. I hope you continue to make content for the rest of us Titanic nerds out there. Cheers!
Thanks for the great comment, I’m glad you enjoy the videos. There’ll be more content coming soon 👍🏻
The ship looks like that one friend that has all the famous friends and just like happens to photo bomb all the pictures
Now we need one we need one on SS Traffic
These videos are marvelous. Congratulations for making such a great content. I’m looking forward to keep seeing more from your work.
Greetings from Venezuela 💞✨🥰
Thank you. More content shall be coming soon 👍🏻.
So... What happened to Traffic?
I had a section on the Traffic in the video but unfortunately had to cut it out to save on video time.
During the Second World War she fell into enemy hands and was eventually torpedoed by the British Navy in 1941. The Germans tried to salvage her wreck but she was too badly damaged and was sent for scrap.
I'm just curious; what is the intro music you used? I can't seem to find it anywhere and this is now the second channel I've heard use it.
I’ve put the link in the video description.
Excellent video, congratulations. I have a question why until today they haven't installed the mast?
Thanks for the comment. Whilst I can not be certain as to why they have not reinstated her mast, I assume it is probably down to cost and practicality. They have not recreated her bridge fully either. I suppose some things were deemed to not be needed for her restoration.
@@BeyondTheTitanic What you see today was always intended as a phase 1 of the restoration with a mast and faithful recreation of the Flying Bridge deck as phase 2 however costs seem to have put the project on the back burner
I was on the nomadic, its only an hour from me
little sister? i believe little helpers but cool
Mini titanic
France treated her really bad criminal
Is there a Book about Nomadic that shows all the Details of her Restoration?
There is a book about Nomadic but I’m unsure as to what extent it goes into detail about her restoration

So proud to call you my boyfriend 🥹
Wholesome!
Did you see astors pocket watch sold for 1.5 million today in auction
Yes, I believe the sale price was £900,000 before auction fees.
Can she run?
So her original engines were removed many years ago. During her restoration the idea of refitting her with a working propulsion system was explored. However it was deemed too expensive. There were also concerns around the legal requirements restoring her as a working, functioning vessel and that it may distract her restoration away from what she once was. A modern engine with modern sailing regulations would have resulted in her restoration being unauthentic to her original 1911 condition. I hope this answers your question.
@@BeyondTheTitanic ok thx btw nice video when next one
In simpler terms...No
Unfortunately 😢
Thanks. The next episode will be out in a few months time.
Will she ever have her mast back?
From my understanding there are currently no plans for this sadly.
@@BeyondTheTitanic kind of a shame, I wouldn’t of thought it would be difficult to do, but still amazing what they have done
That guy in the video said SS Titanic...
