点评:I got to experience Titanic Belfast as part of my Irish Adventure tour run by CIE Tours (you can read my review of the amazing Irish Adventure tour on CIE’s TripAdvisor page). I am so delighted that I got to visit Titanic Belfast.
This ultra-modern museum tells the story of the RMS Titanic, which was built right in Belfast. The building itself is striking and full of interactive exhibits spread across multiple floors. However, during my visit, it was incredibly crowded… so much so that it felt very overwhelming. My travel companion and I ended up moving quickly through all four levels just to get out of the congestion.
That said, one of the most memorable parts of our visit was actually outside the main museum: the Titanic’s tender, SS Nomadic, located in the dry dock across the street. This smaller vessel transported passengers out to the Titanic and has an incredible history of its own. It served as a troop transport during both World Wars and was even used as a bar and nightclub in France at one point. After narrowly avoiding being scrapped multiple times, it has returned to Belfast and is now being carefully restored to its original condition.
While the main museum may be a bit much during peak times, the tender was a fascinating and worthwhile experience. Don’t miss it!
翻译:我有幸参加了CIE Tours组织的爱尔兰探险之旅,并参观了泰坦尼克号贝尔法斯特博物馆(您可以在CIE的TripAdvisor页面上阅读我对这次精彩爱尔兰探险之旅的评论)。我非常高兴能够参观泰坦尼克号贝尔法斯特博物馆。
这座超现代的博物馆讲述了泰坦尼克号的故事,这艘巨轮正是在贝尔法斯特建造的。博物馆建筑本身就非常引人注目,多层楼内设有许多互动展品。然而,我参观的时候,博物馆里人山人海……拥挤得让人难以忍受。我和我的旅伴最后不得不快速地穿过所有四层楼,才能避开拥挤的人群。
话虽如此,我们此行最难忘的部分其实是在主博物馆之外:泰坦尼克号的接驳船“游牧者号”(SS Nomadic),它停泊在街对面的干船坞里。这艘小船负责将乘客运送到泰坦尼克号,它本身也有着一段传奇的历史。它在两次世界大战期间都曾作为运兵船使用,甚至一度在法国被用作酒吧和夜总会。这艘船曾多次险些被拆解,如今终于回到了贝尔法斯特,正在被精心修复,力求恢复原貌。
虽然主博物馆在高峰期可能略显拥挤,但参观这艘小艇却是一次令人着迷且不虚此行的体验。千万不要错过!
