The Discover Northern Ireland website has has a mini-makeover lately with some very interesting additions.
You can now visit some of Northern Ireland’s most spectacular sights from the comfort of your own office chair. Along with the old favourites such as the Giant’s Causeway and the Antrim Coast Road, there is a quite spectacular view of Belfast from the top of Samson (of Harland & Wolff fame), complete with an ship in the dry dock.
The 360° views are created by The Painted Dog and you’ll need to install Apple’s free Quicktime player to use the panoramic tours. The quality of the images is very good and about as close to being there as you can get (without any effort).
No, it didn’t just launch a really big website (bet you didn’t see that one coming?). The Ulster Folk and Transport Museum has launched what it calls one of the most wide-ranging website ever dedicated to the RMS Titanic and its history.
There is a huge (or ‘titanic’) collection of contemporary photographs and designers drawings from the real ship as well as newsreel footage. The website also incorporates sections about the construction, voyage and the aftermath of the iceberg. Some parts are still incomplete, but what’s there will keep you amused for a while
The Northern Ireland Tourist Board have identified the Titanic as one of the five projects which could have a significant impact on local and island-wide tourism.
Some parts are still incomplete, but what’s there will keep you amused for a while - www.titanicinbelfast.com is definitely one to bookmark.
