The last surviving ship with links to the Titanic has returned to Belfast, nearly a century after she first emerged from the Harland and Wolff yard where Titanic itself was built. The SS Nomadic was used to ferry first-class passengers to Titanic when she was docked at Cherbourg. Led by the Nomadic Charitable Trust it is currently being lovingly restored to its former glory.
