Most people come to the Titanic Quarter for the big story. They leave talking about the small one.

SS Nomadic is the last White Star Line ship left in the world. Built by Harland & Wolff in 1911, she was the tender that ferried passengers out to Titanic at Cherbourg — Titanic's little sister, made by the same hands, in the same yard.

Unlike her famous sibling, she's still here.

After service in two World Wars and decades as a floating restaurant in Paris, she was saved from the scrapyard and brought home in 2006. A decade-long restoration returned her to her original 1911 condition — panelling, joinery and fittings rebuilt to match the day she launched.

That's the part worth pausing on. Good craftsmanship isn't about the moment it's finished. It's about whether it's still standing a hundred years later. McCue was proud to be involved in the fit out of joinery in various key areas within the overall restoration project.
