„Nomadic“ – the British passenger steamship

"Nomadic's" keel was laid at the "Yarland and Wolff" shipyard in Belfast in 1910. The ship was launched on April 25, 1911. The ship was powered by two steam engines, turning two propellers. "Nomadic" developed a speed of 12 knots. This and its counterpart, the "Trafik", were built to transport passengers from shore to and from the liners "Titanic" and "Olympic" in the port of Cherbourg, France, as the latter could not dock at the quays of that port. The "Nomadic" was more luxuriously equipped, so it carried first and second class passengers, while the "Trafik" was what was left. During World War I, "Nomadic" transported American soldiers to Brest. In 1927 it was sold to "Compagnie Cherbourgeoise de Transbordement", which in 1934 sold it to "Société Cherbourgeoise de Remorquage et de Sauvetage". Then, named "Ingenieur Minard", served as a transport ship during World War II. After the war, "Nomadic" continued to serve "Cunard White Star Line" ships until November 1968. At the time, he was ferrying passengers to and from the "Queen Elizabeth" liner. In 1974, this ship was bought by a private person and converted into a floating restaurant on the Sena river. From 2006 to 2011, she was restored to her original appearance and now stands in her native shipyard as a monument.

A well-detailed and well-designed model of medium complexity, suitable for a modeler of almost any experience, but for beginners it is better to stick it under the supervision of a more experienced colleague and not as one of the first more complex models
