S.S. Ingénieur Minard Poster
The tender INGÉNIEUR MINARD, formerly the tender NOMADIC owned by the White Star Line and built to ferry passengers out to the Olympic Class liners on their stopovers at Cherbourg, France.
She was used to transport passengers out to many other famous liners of the day (including the QUEEN MARY) as well as being used in both world wars for various military and salvage duties.
She was taken out of service in 1968 and in the 70s converted into a floating restaurant permanently moored on the Seine in Paris. Following the restaurants closure in the late 1990s, she fell into disrepair and was seized by the harbour authorities in 2002, her future uncertain. Fortunately, she was sold and brought back to Belfast for restoration and today is on display in Titanic Quarter, the last surviving White Star vessel.
