Titanic Museum

With only hours in Belfast we enjoyed only the exterior of the Titanic Museum. Built in size and shape to reflect the actual ship, the tiles on the building are numbered to reflect one for each passenger on that doomed liner. The benches, long and short, circling the museum are laid out to reflect the final message sent in Morse Code from the Titanic.

One of our cabbies remarked, that the Titanic was built at a time when Catholics could not get work in Belfast. He added, "While the Protestants were building the Titanic, the Catholics were building the iceberg that sank her."
