    We had a great day in Belfast.

    Went to the Titanic Museum in Belfast- highly recommend. Titanic was built here. The walking tour and museum are very detailed and totally interesting. There's enough technical info for those who are so inclined, and really engaging human interest, as well as historical and cultural context.

    We started our tour in the Titanic Hotel, which is in the building that housed the offices of the company that built Titanic.

    Interesting fact #1: there was no "steerage" in Titanic. Passengers were first, second, or third class.
    Interesting fact #2- the third class rooms were nicer than the homes of most of its passengers. (Running water and plumbing, and dining tables with waiters.)
    Interesting fact #3- the gates which showed passengers being cruelly locked below deck - they were waist high.

    When we returned to the ship, we had dinner with our new friends Andrew and Sarah from Ottawa.
