Titanic Heritage

Belfast, the home of the Titanic!

"Belfast is Titanic town." Nowhere else can claim a greater or prouder association with the most famous ship ever constructed. The Titanic was built in Belfast between 1909 and 1912.

Bunk Campers offer budget camper van hire in Ireland ideal for accessing Belfast’s Titanic heritage. Camper vans are the budget alternative to motorhome hire. Like car hire, they offer the flexibility of a motoring holiday but with the benefits of self-catering accommodation.

The White Star Line.

Hailed as 'the new wonder of the world', the pride of the White Star Line, the RMS Titanic sailed away on her ill fated maiden voyage on April 10th, 1912. Despite her tragic sinking five days later, the legacy of the RMS Titanic remains a source of enduring pride in the city where she was built - Belfast. Visit Harland & Wolff Shipyard where her keel was laid in 1909. The Titanic represents Belfast's industrial heritage and our pride in this achievement is reflected in typical Belfast black humour, as we say, "She was alright when she left us!"
