Titanic's Dock and Pump-House

This tour takes in Thompson Dock and Pump-House where the celebrated RMS Titanic had its final fit-out. A must see, The Pump-House is one of the few most significant remaining heritage buildings from the Titanic technology era. Take in a view of the dock and learn more about Belfast's maritime history. The original part of the building was constructed in the 1880s to serve the Alexandra Graving Dock. It was extended significantly to cater for the massive new Thompson Graving Dock, which opened in 1911. Long and rectangular, designed in late Victorian eclectic style, the building featured the most advanced state-of-the-art engineering of its day. Its hugely powerful pumping engines, housed deep in the building, could drain a full dock of 23 millions gallons of water in 110 minutes.
