A new Titanic-themed tourist attraction is to be built in Belfast as part of a £250m (€299m) investment

The £100m (€119.4m) Titanic Project is earmarked for development on same site on which the famous White Star Line vessel was built almost 100 years ago by Harland and Wolff shipyard workers.

 

 

In a moving tribute to the great ship and also to those who lost their lives on that fateful voyage, it is hoped the five-storey Titanic centre will be completed and open to the public ahead of the centenary of the boat's sinking in April 1912.

The attraction will also incorporate conference facilities and is expected to attract 800,000 users a year and generate £46m (€55m) annually for the local Belfast economy.
