@Flamorgan Yes, TEN years ago. But now they're lost and gone. I'm not saying they were thrown out, they're just somewhere lost in the storage. They're useless now so they don't really care about them.
What an Irony, Harland & Wolff used to be the biggest Shipyard in the world with all that knowledge, experienced tradesmen, and equipment, right up to the 1950's.
Korea was a poverty stricken country recovering from war then.
Where Korea's Shipyards are today used to be 'paddyfields'!
Now they have the Biggest Shipbuilding Industry in the world!
Where Belfast's Biggest Shipbuilding Industry used to be is now 'Paddy's fields'!
Someone (a cruise Co) should build a a replica, dress the stewards in circa 1912 gear, have a white bearded captain, people who looked like Astor & that lucky brown lady, etc., and go hit a glacier! Have the ship take on a bunch of balast, sink by the bow, and pretty much do everything except break & sink. Id pay alot to go on a voyage like that.
This is pretty stupid, the idea is nice but to spend that kind of money for a park seems kind of dumb. With that kind of money they could just rebuild the Olympic and Titanic and make a tone for Belfast as museums and they wouldn't have to destroy one of the great historical sites of the century. But hey what do I know V_V
they should make an exact replica as a museum. we've already proven big liners were not meant to be on the ocean. making a couple of floating museums would be great.
it will manipulate, loosen the valence bonds in water in direct contact , move the item , actually , by changing the bonding or the enviroment pushing it down and keeping it there in place.
about one hundred years from now , give or take a few years, a machine will be like a vacumn cleaner hose, and will be able to suck that item desired under water hard enough to pull it up with some help with leverage and thereby bring things out of the ocean. the device is not designed yet. but those who are very young , or their kids will see it. . and there will be a device that displaces water around a submerged item.
i think it would start to fall apart anyhow, once it hit the air. the water has to be around it now, unless it was specially treated, and with that much weight to pull with that level of psi , well, you realize , you would have not only a massive operation in the frigid waters of the atlantic, where seas and weather are unpredictable, and the cost, oh, outlandish, if , that is , if , you can get build the special equipment needed to do a thing that tough. nope, she is over, sad, get what u can
oh ,, i see what it is. thanks for the music. ah, its but a dream to bring the great lady back to ireland. she is too deep and rust has been eating her , soon there will be nothing there, sadly. the best thing we can do i think , is salvage whatever we can get prior to it disappearing.
my mother in law 's uncle was one of the Belgium survivors on the TITANIC when he sunks he is saved in lifeboat nr 11 and his name was mister Julius Sap.he died in1976
If they do anything, I say they should rebuild the massive frames that surrounded the ships while they were being built and leave the slipways empty, or put a single anchor in the middle of the ground.
Bruce Ismay's father built his ships with Harlland & Wolf. His father owned the White Star Line. At the time the Titanic was built J.P. Morgan owned the White Star Line. So for years White Star Line ships had been built by Harlland & Wolf. That why the Titanic was built in Belfast.
A British ship that was only built in Belfast because of the lack of jobs but it would be nice if they built another one obviously not an actual international ship but one which was say a giant museum yo could walk along the decks have something to eat in the first class dining room it would truly be great it's just the cost. Titanic will live on forever!
@2491cc northern ireland didnt exist in 1912, it was just ireland as it should be, but thomas andrews was irish would you say a scot or welsh arent their repective nationality.
@mattmcnerlin The whole of Ireland was part of the UK back then. Not a commonwealth, but a full part. It was the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, hence the St Patricks cross in the British flag. In 1921, Ireland got it's independance, but the 6 northern counties stayed with the UK.
@2491cc you missed my point, what i meant was if your from wales your welsh, scotland- scotish, england-english and if your from the island of ireland your irish then comes the british part.
Also i do know my entire countries history going back before the vikings built dublin so please dont pratonise me on the obivious facts about ireland
@mattmcnerlin Well not everyone in the north considers themselves Irish. You can't just assume everyone there is Irish. That's like saying all Canadians are from the US. Well, that's how I see it, from a British perspective... you're either British or Irish in the north; the whole population isnt Irish... you know what, let's just leave it. I'm sure you're just as tired as I am of hearing the same old arguments about the north on youtube.
will they rebuild titanic now? why build Harland and Wolf buildings to not make a brand new titanic ship? i know they will build another. i just hope that it it completely the same EXCEPT for the rutter and props..but i hope that they make it the EXACT same in the DETAIL
I know what would be interesting. Build a new Titanic in Belfast in the original dock, build the new one with stainless steel and all modern cutting edge propulsion and electronics. Make everything else the original design. If I had billions of dollars I'd try ot have that done. Have the Irish build it and make that trip to New York and on the way over the wreckage have a moment of silence.
Amazing how much work it was to build this coloss and how expensive that was and everything ended with one journey. Now a multi-million-dollar liner lies on the bottom of the sea, sad.
Why not build in a 19th style and design at a Human level? Moderrn buildings are out of place in that setting.
Why not open a Titanic Measum like the ones in America? Shell has Titanic's design but is an Attraction inside. Make it a hotel as well in replica rooms. Saves building one on the site!
i worked in the shipyard, give the craines a lick of paint and stop the building off yuppy apartments around it, all the factroies should never of been flattened
@andysc69 i highly agree w/u i mean c'mon turning Titanic's dry dock into a park??!!! shows they dont care, why dont they just sink the Nomadic since they've taken away everything else, when i get there in April 2012 I will be sure to tear up some of the park and bring her dry dock back!
I think its beautiful what they are doing to redevelop the site as a memorial while keeping some of the original features as part of the redevelopment the framed structure is a nice touch.
A modern monstrosity ruins the site, if you ask me. They should restore the site to original, and use the whole area as a museum. It doesn't need all that 21st century nonsense that looks dated before it's even finished.
@kirkconway The steel they used was actaully quite good for the time and at 1" thick was strong. the problem was they used a strong hull but put it together with weak iron rivets, it was the rivets that were the weak link
There is a fitting tribute we visited two weeks ago in Orlando florida with a re creation of the Grand staircase and lots of GENUINE artifacts (found floating and not pillaged) inc deckchairs etc etc. One of these places should be built here in the UK in an appropriate location but, it wont be, if you have seen the exhibition on I Drive you will know what I mean. The staircase is in solid oak and a LIFE size replica in EVERY detail, nobody WILL SPEND THE MONEY HERE IN THE UK to do it properly
The people who models the ship in many different quarters are the ones that doing their part in remembering the ship. People flock to hobby shops around the world to buy these models of the ship. I live in Kirkwood, Missouri here in the United States and there is a hobby shop and it has at least one scale of the ship. Sometimes I see two scales of course by different companies.
we CAN and we SHOULD rebuild TItanic 2012 100 years as a tribute.. then redo the Titanic's vvoyage WITHOUT the accident... and complete its yourney... we have better technology thus making the rebuild even easier. they build 3 similliar ships at that time so why can't we build 1 copy? we have the tehnology... my question is: Why not?
@Spartan117JMC Because it will offend many people, it is against the tradition, and white star line does not exist anymore. By the way, the blueprints of the titanic are long gone.
@sacramentolove Actually They'r not gone :S.... there was copies that were kept safe and has been copied many times over the years... dont beleave me? Google it
@Spartan117JMC But when James Cameron wanted to make the movie, he asked them for the blueprints and they said that they're lost probably somewhere in the storage but useless. Anyway, the original blueprints are most likely gone because they didn't need them anymore.
wow some of you people are really and truly stupid. to get to the point. the titani could never, and ever be brang back from the deep abyss. it is a rusty deteriated wreck. its been at the bottom of the atlantic ocean for 100 years. it is 2 ( two) miles deep. if the could, or trust me, if had technolody to raise it. there is no point to. let the people rest in peace. let britain build a new ship like they do ever 10 years called titanic 2.
Look, people, a second Titanic will never be built. Where would the funding come from? Also, it wouldn't be allowed to sail, it just wouldn't be allowed with today's highly strict safety standards. In my opinion, building a replica would only devalue the memory of the original.
LOL, sme ere. 4 1ce der is a place where every1 n da wrld wnts to visit, n its only 10min drive away 4rm hme :). dat used to b my hang out place, wel i guess wnt b anymre :( aw wel so loin 4ward for it :)
I fink kate n leo shuld cme for da openin, wat u fink???
Nooo I was talking about the older steam cranes on thye side of the concrete pad where the two guys were talking about the gantrys and all the walkways and al the worker's that helped build the two ships,
I saw them in that documentery on I think it was the national geographic channel,
leave the darn parks alone in belfast where the ships were built and leave it as a memorial,
restore the cranes sitting therer that helped in the building and redo things as it was so it will be a fitting memorial to all who perished and to not let this happen ever again
I assume you are making a reference to the two cranes 'Samson' & 'Goliath' if indeed you are these cranes had NOTHING to do with the building of the White Star ships, they were built between 1969 & 1974 for the construction of oil tankers.
@kirkconway Most of it is just wasteland that Harland & Wolff no longer need. It wasnt just titanic build there, you know. Might as well put the land to some use, and build something on it. It's called the Titanic Qaurter, and is being built FOR the memory of Titanic and all those who died. They're still keeping the dry dock.
@kirkconway This is acres of land in the middle of a city. The whole area is just waste land, with rubble everywhere. Why keep it like that? Only a small portion of the shipyard was used to make titanic, so what's the point keeping the rest of the shipyard derilict?
they should make it to the memory of the great liners that were built there,
make it to a meritime flavor for all the liners, and dont change the
area but make it to the flavor and history of the past liners and workers that slaved there to build these great liners,
and keep the houses and living areas up and in good cond too,
but if they dont do a park, then erect a nice memorial to all the shipyard workers and all the sweat and blood that were put into these three great liners
So what, are they like...rebuilding a replica of the titanic for this thing..cuz if so taht would be awesome. I would go on it, and have the Titanic Soundtrack playing on my MP3 player and I would be wandering around it with tears in my eyes.
But in my opinion if you do that it wont be the same cause ppl will forget what happened in 1912 and only focus on the newest one u know? I hope this story will go on until doomsday
R.I.P. All those who lost their lives on the titanic.
I live in Belfast and had been around the Docks were the Titanic was built, I have been there many times.
I remember reading earlier this year about them planning on Building a Muesum of the Titanic, Its ment to be built like the front of the ship were we can eat out on the deck and inside is a
The Americans built a Titanic Measum, and took OUR Objects, so we can just take them back and use them!
We have alot of the objects from the ship in W5 Though...
what a beautiful video this is,imagine walking around there,or if you could go around in a boat and see the places she was,imagine soaking in all the feeling that is left there by the men who designed and built the ships and all that went on there for so many years,maybe you can feel that,i would like to think so
@Abricialio how about the monster steam engines that powered it forward? Would love that too being up there on the bridge giving the stokers hell with the engine telegraphs
I am for the redevelopment of the shipyard where Titanic was born. Eventhough the ship is gone, but not for those who rode on her and survived. There are museums scattered all over the U.S. But these days, if you put an engine in it, it would have to be a diesel rather than steam.
There was a company that did wanted to build a replica of the titanic.. It would of been designed to travel to the area the first ship sank for tourist. But after so much negative talk about it.. They desided not to build. 100% Fact
Accually they are building it, they decided not to built but another company is building it in a few years in belfast they said it wont be done to excacally 2009 they will let the people of belfast in as a muesum and then it would become a cruise ship
i think that titanic must be reconstructed also,since the tragic story of the ship had captured the imagination of all people in the world.just imagine the number of people who would travel from around the world to visit the real TITANIC not just a replica museum.sorry for my bad english
Sorry to say, but that ship is in at least 2 pieces and already falling apart. You have to reconstruct parts that have already vanished, and these days, it would have to be run as a diesel rather than steam because of enviromental concern. It would be much more better off if a new Titanic was built. To steer a ship like that, you have to know how your ship is put together such as steering gears, tiller and rudder.
Are they actually gonna try to raise the titanic well. whats left of it. I'm just afraid that when all the dust settles they will find hundreads of dead bodies & remains that were preserved by the below freezing ice cold water temperatures.
those bodies don´t exist any more...either eaten by fishes and sharks or naturally decomposed, but they are definitely not perserved for eternity! :D that´s 4.200 m below sea level.
I think they should just build a stationary replica. Interior& exterior, the whole nine yards. but have that replica serve as the museum. If you try to bring the ship back into an oxygen enviornment, the ship's superstructure will collapse in on herself in less than a few months to a year.
I worked at Harland and Wolff and remember it as a small city with a wonderful built in culture. Although all things must pass it is at least nice to see the birthplace of a massive shipyard being remembered. Just wish there was more of the human aspect and the skill of the people and what it was like working with such a great company. I visited last year and picked up a video and must say it was the most disappointing effort I have seen as it contained no commentary on what the video presented.

wow some of you people are really and truly stupid. to get to the point. the titani could never, and ever be brang back from the deep abyss. it is a rusty deteriated wreck. its been at the bottom of the atlantic ocean for 100 years. it is 2 ( two) miles deep. if the could, or trust me, if had technolody to raise it. there is no point to. let the people rest in peace. let britain build a new ship like they do ever 10 years called titanic 2.

Look, people, a second Titanic will never be built. Where would the funding come from? Also, it wouldn't be allowed to sail, it just wouldn't be allowed with today's highly strict safety standards. In my opinion, building a replica would only devalue the memory of the original.

If they do make a copy Titanic for us to walk about in, coffee shop, gift shop, restraunt, muesum etc
I would definiatly go, and it would be so easy.
I would have to take a 10 minute drive down to the place, knowing people around the world would be flying over to see it LOL

Nooo I was talking about the older steam cranes on thye side of the concrete pad where the two guys were talking about the gantrys and all the walkways and al the worker's that helped build the two ships,
I saw them in that documentery on I think it was the national geographic channel,

leave the darn parks alone in belfast where the ships were built and leave it as a memorial,
restore the cranes sitting therer that helped in the building and redo things as it was so it will be a fitting memorial to all who perished and to not let this happen ever again
kirkconway 2 years ago 15
I assume you are making a reference to the two cranes 'Samson' & 'Goliath' if indeed you are these cranes had NOTHING to do with the building of the White Star ships, they were built between 1969 & 1974 for the construction of oil tankers.

@daddinsmore38 No Im talking about the older smaller steam shovel's next to each other,
I saw them in the History channel a few time's, they are all there but kinda run down looking,
used a long time ago but havent been used for at least 45, or 50 yrs,

@kirkconway Most of it is just wasteland that Harland & Wolff no longer need. It wasnt just titanic build there, you know. Might as well put the land to some use, and build something on it. It's called the Titanic Qaurter, and is being built FOR the memory of Titanic and all those who died. They're still keeping the dry dock.
2491cc 1 year ago
@kirkconway This is acres of land in the middle of a city. The whole area is just waste land, with rubble everywhere. Why keep it like that? Only a small portion of the shipyard was used to make titanic, so what's the point keeping the rest of the shipyard derilict?

I wish people would just leave things alone to a memory,
and not make some modern Thing out of it and then the memories and the history forgotten?? NOO WAY ABSOLUTLY NOT.
If they did make a park,
they should make it to the the memory of the workers and the liners that were built there and not some modern thing that has no taste or meaning.
kirkconway 2 years ago
they should make it to the memory of the great liners that were built there,
make it to a meritime flavor for all the liners, and dont change the
area but make it to the flavor and history of the past liners and workers that slaved there to build these great liners,
and keep the houses and living areas up and in good cond too,
but if they dont do a park, then erect a nice memorial to all the shipyard workers and all the sweat and blood that were put into these three great liners

If there ever was to be a 'Titanic 2' it woud have to be built in Northern Ireland,
Titanic 2 sounds like a shit thing anyway to celebrate 100 years..
Belfast,A City within a City sounds far better I look forward of driving past it everyday when its finished
pmccaff2007 2 years ago
I live in Belfast and had been around the Docks were the Titanic was built, I have been there many times.
I remember reading earlier this year about them planning on Building a Muesum of the Titanic, Its ment to be built like the front of the ship were we can eat out on the deck and inside is a
The Americans built a Titanic Measum, and took OUR Objects, so we can just take them back and use them!
We have alot of the objects from the ship in W5 Though...
Come to Belfast in 2012!

what a beautiful video this is,imagine walking around there,or if you could go around in a boat and see the places she was,imagine soaking in all the feeling that is left there by the men who designed and built the ships and all that went on there for so many years,maybe you can feel that,i would like to think so

build a new titanic, in memory of those who were lost
french0peas 2 years ago
I am for the redevelopment of the shipyard where Titanic was born. Eventhough the ship is gone, but not for those who rode on her and survived. There are museums scattered all over the U.S. But these days, if you put an engine in it, it would have to be a diesel rather than steam.

There was a company that did wanted to build a replica of the titanic.. It would of been designed to travel to the area the first ship sank for tourist. But after so much negative talk about it.. They desided not to build. 100% Fact
dallaspolo 3 years ago 2
Accually they are building it, they decided not to built but another company is building it in a few years in belfast they said it wont be done to excacally 2009 they will let the people of belfast in as a muesum and then it would become a cruise ship
pmccaff2007 2 years ago
i think that titanic must be reconstructed also,since the tragic story of the ship had captured the imagination of all people in the world.just imagine the number of people who would travel from around the world to visit the real TITANIC not just a replica museum.sorry for my bad english
gregandrian 3 years ago
Sorry to say, but that ship is in at least 2 pieces and already falling apart. You have to reconstruct parts that have already vanished, and these days, it would have to be run as a diesel rather than steam because of enviromental concern. It would be much more better off if a new Titanic was built. To steer a ship like that, you have to know how your ship is put together such as steering gears, tiller and rudder.

Are they actually gonna try to raise the titanic well. whats left of it. I'm just afraid that when all the dust settles they will find hundreads of dead bodies & remains that were preserved by the below freezing ice cold water temperatures.
ewtng 3 years ago
those bodies don´t exist any more...either eaten by fishes and sharks or naturally decomposed, but they are definitely not perserved for eternity! :D that´s 4.200 m below sea level.
ZiSt1989 2 years ago
I think they should just build a stationary replica. Interior& exterior, the whole nine yards. but have that replica serve as the museum. If you try to bring the ship back into an oxygen enviornment, the ship's superstructure will collapse in on herself in less than a few months to a year.

It would crumble if anyone tried to move it from the sea bed. Its been down there 97 years now.
