Work begins on the SS Nomadic

After tendering for the job of cleaning and painting Nomadic`s hull , the company of Jack Tighe ( an very well established firm ) have been awarded the contract . It is believed that it will cost in the region of £ 150,000 for this work , exactly what the trust had budgeted . We all look forward to seeing the old girl shining once again with a fresh coat of paint . Nomadic Belfast

HMS CAROLINE STAYS IN BELFAST

2009_0815Outlets0024

HMS  Caroline  ,  the  Royal  Navy  light  cruiser  that  has  been  in  Belfast  as  a  naval  training  vessel  since  1924  ,  has  got  the  go-ahead  to  remain  where  she  is  in  the  Alexandra  dock  Belfast .  It  was  rumoured  that  when  the  Royal  Naval  reserve  unit  that  calls  Caroline  their  home  ,  moves  to  Thiepval  ( Lisburn )  in  2011  ,  the  ship  would  be  on  the  move  elsewhere .  Thankfully  she  will  remain  where  she  is   ,  hopefully  for  the  public  to  view  in  the  near  future .

HMS Caroline  was  built  in  1914  at  Cammell  Laird  shipyard  Birkenhead .  She  saw  action  in  the  Battle  of  Jutland  in  1916  and  was  capable  of  speeds  of  30  knots  -  compared  to  todays modern  warships  ,  that  can  manage  only  26 – 27  knots .

‘NEAR MY GOD TO THEE ! ‘ was the the last hymn played and sung aboard Titanic as she slipped in the icy cold waters. A postcard to mark this emotional event was printed in 1912.
