SS Nomadic was commissioned by White Star Line to serve the
Olympic-class liners Olympic, Titanic and Britannic when they
called in Cherbourg. Built in Belfast alongside Titanic, she was
made with the same steel, built by the same workers and decorated
by the same craftsmen. Because her duties were to serve first- and
second-class passengers, she was fitted out far more luxuriously
than other tenders of that time and she was considered by the White
Star Line as a window into the sumptuous new transatlantic liners.
While Titanic is commonly described as the ill-fated White Star
Liner, SS Nomadic can without any doubt be qualified as the lucky
tender, having survived both world wars and escaped destruction
many times. She is now restored to her former glory as a tourist
attraction in Belfast.
