RMS Titanic is exactly where it’s been for the last 114 years, gently rusting on the North Atlantic seabed, 12,500 feet below the ocean’s surface. And yet, in Belfast, Northern Ireland, this week, onlookers were treated to the ghostly sight of the most famous oceanliner in the world once again leaving the docks in which it was constructed.
This was an eye-catching part of a drone display to mark the arrival of the BBC’s ‘Made of Here’ campaign, designed to pay tribute to cities across the UK that have inspired key BBC programming. The Titanic display was inspired by the recent four-part factual series Titanic Sinks Tonight, which takes audiences through every minute of the sinking, with actors recreating the testimonies of the survivors.
