Comment

The article currently says the Nomadic and Traffic "served" the larger vessels. If all these vessels did was carry passengers to and from the liners I think it would be best to state that more explicitly. Geo Swan (talk) 18:24, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Updated photos

Will someone please upload new photos of the Nomadic from her restoration in Belfast. --Senjuto 18:03, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Materials

If the "Nomadic" was build almost alongside the "Titanic", probably the same methods and materials were used in both ships. A careful examination could answer some of the arguments about the materials used in "Titanic".AT Kunene (talk) 10:44, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Moved from Andrews article

She was the tender to Titanic and Olympic, and is also the last White Star Line ship afloat. Nomadic is currently preserved in Belfast, where she has been fully restored, since the centenary of Titanic's maiden voyage. By February 2012, Nomadic's superstructure (with the exception of lifeboats, davits, and a covered bridge) was completely rebuilt and the ship was repainted in her original White Star Livery. Nomadic is the centrepiece of Titanic Quarter, a previously-derelict section of Belfast now rebuilt and filled with monuments and buildings to honour the RMS Titanic.

Hijacked external links

In attempting to update this article, I found that the Nomadic Preservation Society URL was apparently hijacked by an Asian character site. I tagged it "dead link" but it's not really dead - just directs to something that may or may not have anything to do with Nomadic. I've done some searching at WP:ROT but could not find a way to handle URL hijacks like this.Blue Riband► 21:03, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bickering preservation groups

Today I restored content that had been removed by an editor who considered that information to be erroneous, especially regarding a group (now defunct) called the Nomadic Preservation Society. This group is entirely separate from the one now overseeing the vessel, the Nomadic Charitable Trust. A quick search revealed a history of bad blood between the two groups over how the ship should be restored as reported here. The crux seems to be the Preservation Society wanting to return Nomadic to operating condition and the Charitable Trust favoring the static exhibit approach. We have to follow reliable sources and refrain from suppressing part of its history and avoid advocacy for its state going forward. What we do know from reliable sources:

The Nomadic Preservation Society existed until at least 2016 and got the ship to Belfast.
The unsuccessful fundraising effort to purchase the Nyanza's engines is part of her history.
The Nomadic is a static display and there is no reliable source regarding any plans for her otherwise.
If there is a conflict on how the lifeboat was discovered, report what the two sources say in a neutral tone. Blue Riband► 02:22, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Follow up - I check the records for the Nomadic Preservation Society at the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland site. According to filed Trustee Report the group went dormant in 2016. In January 2021 they decided to formally wind down and disband and asked that their status be recinded to 2019. Blue Riband► 03:07, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
