On the centenary of the Titanic shipwreck museum opens Belfast
Belfast is about to happen a miracle. After a hundred years after "Titanic" went to my first and last trip to the city where the ship was built, it opened a new center dedicated to the history of the ship, its creators and passengers. Museum "Titanic Belfast" stands on the same spot where once was built the great ship. This building is also enormous, like a ship, in whose honor it was built.
However, after the signing of the Belfast Agreement in 1998, the city passed the stage without an understatement to say the revival.
Visitors who remember the local dullness and 70-80 uzkomyslie's affects changes made to the city, although tourism is just beginning to emerge here.
Museum "Titanic Belfast" hopes to fix it, and even the most recent cynics, gritting his teeth, admit that he can do it. On the construction of the building it took 153 million dollars.
Now you can see in detail where the money went, just by looking at a great facade. But inside the building has something to offer.
Of course, not without a copy of "Titanic." Belfast need to look to the future without forgetting the past.
Of course, all over the captured trace of the ship - the creators inspired enclosures at the shipyard.
This building can blind you on a sunny day, if you do not have sunglasses. The huge façade is covered in the middle of 3000 aluminum panels, 60% of them - are unique.
The height of the "shells" of the museum is the same as they were on the ship from keel to deck.
The ship could hold 3547 people - as many as will fit in the museum "Titanic Belfast».
By the way, about people. It is necessary to pay tribute to those who built this building. To understand all of their hardships, just look at these pictures.
Even though their interior is still under construction, unless you are nothing like? Of course, like the scenery of the famous film by James Cameron.
This "Titanic" and a museum in his honor shared a century, but the museum was built around the same period as the ship - about 26 months.
The foundation of "Titanic Belfast" poured concrete nearly 40,000, almost the same as in "Titanic».
"Titanic Belfast" is located next to the company «Titanic Slipways, the Harland and Wolff Drawing Offices» Hamilton Grevinga dock and - at the same place where it was planned, built and launched the "Titanic" in 1912.
The building pays tribute to the history of the ill-fated ship.
"Titanic" was "born" in Belfast. The museum tells the story of its planning, construction and commissioning, as well as the most ill-fated journey.
Here you can learn a lot about how to find the wreckage 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 age-old history of the ship.
The opening of the museum is scheduled for March 31, 2012. It will be the largest facility dedicated to the "Titanic" in the world.
Belfast City hopes his story will be remembered not only for its ups downs. And "Titanic Belfast" - a new and proud symbol of the city - can prove it.
