In Belfast, a miracle is about to happen. After a hundred years after "Titanic" went to his first and last trip to the city where the ship was built, opened a new center dedicated to the history of the ship, its creators and passengers. Museum "Titanic Belfast" is on the same spot where once it was built a great ship. This building is the same huge, like a ship, in whose honor it was built.

 However, after the signing of the Belfast Agreement in 1998, the city has passed the stage, with no understatement to say the revival.
 Visitors who remember the local gray and uzkomyslie 70-80th affected the changes that have undergone the town, although tourism is only beginning to emerge here.

 The height of "buildings" of the museum is the same as were on the ship from keel to deck.
 The ship could hold 3547 people - the same fit in the museum "Titanic Belfast."
 By the way, about people. It should pay tribute to those who built this building. To see all of their hardships, just look at these photos.
 Even though they have built the interior, unless you are familiar? Of course, like the scenery to the famous movie by James Cameron.
 This "Titanic" and the museum in his honor shared a century, but the museum was built around the same time as the ship - about 26 months.

 At the foundation of the "Titanic Belfast" poured concrete of almost 40,000, nearly the same as in "Titanic."
 "Titanic Belfast" is located next to the company «Titanic Slipways, the Harland and Wolff Drawing Offices» Hamilton Grevinga and dock - at the same place, where he planned, built and launched the "Titanic" in 1912.
 The building pays tribute to the history of the ill-fated ship.
 "Titanic", "born" in Belfast. The museum tells the story of its planning, construction and startup, and also the most ill-fated journey.
 Here you can learn a lot about how to find fragments of the ship, and that the investigation is still going on.
 The museum will be nine galleries, each dedicated to a specific element of the centuries-old history of the ship.
 The opening of the museum is scheduled for March 31, 2012. This will be the largest facility dedicated to the "Titanic" in the world.
