Nomadic served as tender to its ill-fated big sister Titanic when the latter ship made its first and only call at Cherbourg on 10 April 1912. Nomadic ferried 172 first and second class passengers out of Cherbourg harbour to board Titanic, including John Jacob Astor, Benjamin Guggenheim and Margaret ‘Unsinkable Molly’ Brown. The vessel went on to serve in both World Wars and serviced the liners Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary before being saved from the breakers by becoming a Parisian restaurant afloat on the Seine in 1974. New EU regulations put an end to this career in 2003 and, stripped of its non-original superstructure, Nomadic was towed to a quayside in Le Havre where the breaker again beckoned.
