Titanic Belfast

Belfast built Titanic. Nowhere else in the world can claim a greater or prouder association with the most famous ship ever built.

On 31 March 2012, almost 100 years since RMS Titanic set sail, a spectacular new visitor attraction opened on the site of the Belfast shipyard where the great ocean liner was envisioned and constructed.

The attraction recognises the city’s industrial and maritime heritage and its era at the centre of the shipbuilding world and the strong educational content throughout serves to inspire our next generation of titanic thinkers.


The future of Harland & Wolff Headquarters Building and Drawing Offices? 
 
Alongside the excitement of the opening of Titanic Belfast there is still much potential for the maritime and industrial assets, buildings and public space in the Titanic Quarter. There needs to be further thinking and agreement as to how to use these and realise their collective potential.
 
At the heart of this potential are the Harland & Wolff Headquarters Building and the Drawing Offices. Given their significant heritage value we are particularly keen to engage with communities and stakeholders in thinking through how the Harland and Wolff Headquarters building and the Drawing Offices could be used and developed in the future. It would be very helpful to get a wide range of people involved in this process, and we would be interested in you providing views on the following questions:

• What are the key issues that need to be considered in the future use of the Harland &Wolff Headquarters Building and Drawing Offices?

• Given the other developments within the Titanic Quarter and wider Belfast area, what ideas or options for their use would you consider to have most potential?

• How do you think the strongest option should be identified?
