In the novel the ship is the SS "Titan", a four-stacked liner, the largest in the world and considered unsinkable. And like the "Titanic", she sinks after hitting an iceberg and does not have enough lifeboats. Only recently has the significance of "Titanic" most notably been given by Northern Ireland where it was built by Harland and Wolff in the capital city, Belfast. While the rest of the world embraced the glory and tragedy of "Titanic", in its birth city, "Titanic" remained a taboo subject throughout the 20th
Cultural legacy of RMS Titanic Hill, built memorials to the ship's musicians. Each year, on the anniversary of the sinking, a wreath is laid at the site by the United States Coast Guard's International Ice Patrol. A number of museums around the world have displays on "Titanic". In Northern Ireland, the ship is commemorated by the Titanic Belfast visitor attraction, opened on 31 March 2012, that stands on the site of the shipyard where "Titanic" was built. The Ulster Folk and Transport Museum also has a substantial exhibition called "TITANICa". In England, artefacts relating to the disaster are preserved at the SeaCity Museum in Southampton
