\"Screenshot<\/a>It’s now nearly 103 years since a shipwreck on the icy Atlantic sent shockwaves around the world. \u00a0The events of the original Night to Remember on 14th April 1912 became the first global news story – and a story that resounded not just around the world of 1912, but also across the decades that followed. \u00a0Titanic’s fate has been re-told and remembered in pretty much every generation, every language, every form of media.<\/p>\n

\"Screenshot<\/a>But there’s something especially powerful about remembering Titanic in Belfast, where the story began. \u00a0After a century of silence, we’ve found our voice and our place in the story. \u00a0People now travel from all over the world to mark this anniversary in Belfast – often people who have a personal family connection to Titanic’s passengers and crew.<\/p>\n

\"b50d39c4-7ba0-420e-876b-8f44c3dc3b1b\"<\/a>So it’s been an immense privilege for The Dock to have been involved over the past few years in developing and enabling A \u00a0Night To Remember at Titanic Belfast. \u00a0The evening involves a journey through the story of Titanic, from design to build to launch to departure to tragedy, as told through the eyewitness accounts of a series of the characters who watched it happen. \u00a0Then (after a nice glass of warm cider) we gather by candlelight on the slipways at 11:40pm, the moment of collision, to mark the moment that the world changed forever.<\/p>\n

Here’s a taster of last year’s event:
