In the early 20th century, the RMS Titanic was berthed in this expansive 900-foot (274-meter) dock, then known as Thompson Dry Dock, where workers meticulously added the finishing touches to the luxurious liner. Adjacent to the dock stands an Edwardian-era pump house, which once served to drain water from the dock. Today, the pump house houses the original machinery and hosts Titanic-inspired exhibits, offering visitors a glimpse into the engineering and history of one of the most famous ships ever built.
