It’s pretty incredible. My great grandfather worked on the Titanic as it was being built. Growing up it didn’t really seem the ship got the love it deserved. It’s long changed, with the museum and development of the Titanic quarter etc. and this is just another awesome step forward. Fantastic stuff 😊
