The Belfast Titanic Society, originally called the Ulster Titanic Society, was formed at a meeting in the Linenhall Library in Belfast in May 1992. Among those present at this first meeting were several Harland and Wolff men and those whose relatives had worked on Titanic. Also present were relatives of Tommy Millar (also lost on Titanic) and John Parkinson who as a young boy had seen the ship in the east Belfast ship yard.  John later became President of the Society.  Our first President was Marjorie McCormick (the daughter of foreman fitter Artie Frost who was lost on Titanic). The current President is Susie Millar, great grand-daughter of Titanic’s Thomas Millar (Formerly a Harland & Wolff employee and then a White Star Line employee).

We are unique in that we are the only Titanic Society in the world that holds regular meetings.

Meetings – are held September to May (refreshments are supplied by our own Titanic ladies). Most mMeetings are held in Royal Belfast Academical Institution (this is one of the oldest School’s in Belfast, the one which William Pirrie, Thomas Andrews and Dr John Simpson attended) http://www.rbai.org.uk/.
