Titanic SS10000
The Titanic SS1000 and Gold level rides have been created to commemorate the fatefull maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic.
To earn the Tiatanic SS1000 certificate you must visit the four historically important locations related to the design, construction, registration and sailing of the White Star Line’s RMS Titanic WHILST also completing 1,000 miles or more within 24 hours. If you are not currently a member of the Iron Butt Association, completion of this ride will provide you with life long IBA membership.
The locations are:
1) Titanic Experience Cobh, 20 Casement Square, Cobh, Co. Cork, Ireland P24 DW63
Formerly the White Star Line building, Queenstown, Titanic’s last port of call.
2) Titanic Hotel Belfast, Queen's Road, Titanic Quarter, Belfast BT3 9DT, Northern Ireland
Formerly Harland & Wolff Headquarters and Drawing Offices, where the Titanic was designed and built.
3) Albion House, 30 James St, Liverpool L2 7PQ, United Kingdom
Formerly White Star Lines Headquarters, the Titanic’s port of registry was Liverpool.
4) Titanic Engineers Memorial, London Rd, Southampton SO14 7DW, United Kingdom
The bronze and granite memorial was originally unveiled by Sir Archibald Denny, president of the Institute of Marine Engineers on 22nd April 1914. Southampton was the departure port for the Titanic’s first and last voyage and home to over 500 of those that perished aboard
110 Irish people lost their lives on the Titanic, while 54 survived.
The Gold level ride is for those riders who have already completed a Certified ride and are IBA members; this ride requires a further two specified locations (see map below and hot) and be ridden during the dates of the Titanic's maiden/last voyage - 10th to 15th of April.
As you will likely be crossing the Irish Sea/ North Channel twice, you may wish to consider combining this ride with a Governments SS1000 Gold
Whichever ride you attempt, you are strongly advised to travel via Cairnryan in Scotland using either P&O to/from Larne (2hrs 15mins) or Stena to/from Belfast (2hrs 30mins) as the sea crossing is included in your 24hrs "clock time", but it does give you a chance for some hot drink/food and a sleep.
