Dock – Footprint of a Legend

Relive the history by experiencing the scale of the colossal Titanic Dock. Walk along the distance of the dock to appreciate the length of the mighty luxury liner. Imagine yourself retracing the steps of those dock workers over 100 years ago. Marvel at the sheer scale of this massive concrete structure that effectively was the cradle of Titanic before her construction was finished and she commenced her maiden voyage.

It remains largely as it was 100 years ago. Look at the massive steel caisson aget and view the rivets still present and holding the steel plating together all these years later. Inspect a keel block displayed at ground level – see the 4 interlocking steel keels, weighing approximately 1 tonne each, that were man-handled by 4 dock workers, and the timber capping to protect Titanic’s hull as she rested in the dock. Look down the underground staircase and chutes where men would have ascended and descended with all manner of tools to undertake the many tasks, including fitting those massive propellers.

Imagine the water gurgling through the grilles and rushing through the culverts into the Pump-House to be pumped out in less than 100 minutes. It is only at Titanic’s Dock that you grasp the true sense of scale and enormous undertaking involved in creating these ocean-going leviathans. Titanic’s Dock and its elegant Pump-House remain the most intact and authentic landmark in the world. An inspiring and thought provoking experience awaits you.
