Even as it approaches its 100 year anniversary, the story of the Titanic from its creation in Belfast to its ill fated voyage captures the hearts and imaginations of people throughout the world. Belfast's intimate connection to the Titanic means there are many moving stories about those who worked, sailed and perished on the ship.
