Anyone thinking of visiting SS Nomadic which opens to the public on Saturday should be very cautious about booking tickets online at http://www.nomadicbelfast.com/buy-tickets
The payment site is NOT secure and it would be very unwise to enter any card details on this site. The absence of the https is very strange for a site of this nature.
I have contacted them but no response.

The actual payment/details site is secure clicking on properties gives - https://www.onlinecinematickets.com/index.php?s=SSNOMADIC&p=payment&PHPSESSID=mnh5gg5nq8s15rumu8pv09pkd6&PHPSESSID=mnh5gg5nq8s15rumu8pv09pkd6The world is not ruined by the wickedness of the wicked, but by the weakness of the good.

They spend a few million fixing the thing up and then spend (what looks like) a tenner on a Joomla template.0

I had a similar concern recently when making a Stena ferry booking and no https or padlock appeared in my browser bar, then discovered this explanation on their site:Our booking system is set within an i-frame which prevents a browser from displaying a padlock security symbol or "https" in the address bar. This does not affect the security of the page and all necessary security systems are in place for any bookings made online
perhaps something similar applies to the SS Nomadic booking system.butterfly )i(0 -

No it isn't.
I quote from Getsafeonline.org
Before entering payment details on a website, ensure that the link is secure, in three ways:- There should be a padlock symbol in the browser
window frame, which appears when you attempt to log in or register. Be sure that the padlock is not on the page itself ... this will probably indicate a fraudulent site. - The web address should begin with ‘https://’. The ‘s’ stands for ‘secure’.
- If using the latest version of your browser
, the address bar or the name of the site owner will turn green.
This is also worth a read and explains why you should never enter card details on a site that is not secure.

Ah - that's interesting - it DOES now point to an HTTPS site after you select tickets and proceed to payment - it didn't last night when I emailed them and still didn't before my original post at 12.15.
Looks like they have resolved it.0 -

I think it's absolutely fabulous that Nomadic has been restored and would love to have a wee geek at it sometime. Not this weekend though because it'll be mobbed.
It'll be great when they get HMS Caroline fixed up too. I'd love to have a wee look around her. They should look for a few more interesting ships to moor there. I think there's one or two at the Transport Museum that might fit the bill.0 -

This will keep you going till she is open

Fascinating. Looks like the RNVR did some modernisation though which will have to be undone. I wonder are the barbettes still there for the turrets?0 -

I'm intrigued to know how much of the modernisation was undone on the nomadic. We were involved at the early stages and it turned out that, when the engine was taken out, the whole thing was filled with some heavy duty concrete. We concluded that it would take 10s of thousands of hours with drilling equipment to get it out... They were determined that it should be done so I'd love to know what ended up done!Always overestimating...0
