5Take a trip with the Lagan Boat Company

When you think of Belfast, the first image that comes to mind may now be that of the SS Titanic. The Titanic is hugely associated with Belfast where it was built in the Harland and Wolff factory and the burgeoning Titanic Quarter is now one of Northern Ireland’s biggest tourist attractions. You could just visit the acclaimed Titanic Experience but an even better way to see the Titanic Quarter is from the water. The Lagan Boat Company Titanic Tour is one of the best around as you voyage through the now desolate docklands beyond Lagan Weir and pass by the slipways that launched the Titanic on its tragic journey as well as viewing the huge dry dock where the Titanic fit through with a measly nine inches to spare. Click the next ARROW to see the next image!
