But it is possible to experience the Titanic’s magic first-hand today. The Titanic’s forgotten tiny sister ship, SS Nomadic, was used to ferry passengers and luggage to the doomed liner at Cherbourg, France.

Designed and built by the same team as the Titanic, the Nomadic is the last White Star Line vessel in the world.
