Touch Titanic's Footprint...
...and marvel at the men and machines which built her
Titanic's Dock and Pump-House comprises a 7-acre scheduled monument site which includes the Thompson Dry Dock and its associated Pump-House. The Pump-House was once the beating heart of Harland & Wolffs operation during the construction of the great White Star Liners - Britannic, Olympic and most famously the RMS Titanic. The Thompson Dock itself is the footprint of Titanic and provides an amazing representation of the scale of the ship.
Today the Pump-House comprises of a Visitor Centre & Cafe, Interpretative Centre, meeting rooms & event space. We also operate daily tours - the only publicly accessible intact piece of the Titanic's great legacy which is open in the city of her birthplace - Belfast. The site is based in the Northern Ireland Science Park which is recreating, in the beginning of the 21st century, the buzz that was here at the beginning of the 20th century. Harland & Wolff was renowned worldwide for its innovative ideas on shipbuilding; it was at the forefront of technology, at the cutting edge, as are those companies attracted to NISP today.
