Titanic

The most famous ship in the world, the Titanic, was a marvel of engineering based on revolutionary new capabilities. It bristled with the latest technology and was said to be unsinkable. And yet, her maiden voyage becomes the most famous maritime disaster in history. In the Belfast shipyard where the Titanic was built, Rob boards the last piece of living history that links us to the legend – her “little sister,” the SS Nomadic. Rob explores how Belfast took on the daunting challenge of making - and launching - such a gigantic ship on the same slipway and dry dock where she took shape.
