French tender 'Ingenieur Minard' in Portsmout

[Belgenland]

Dear all,

I am looking for information and documents about the French tender 'Ingenieur Minard' taken up as Accomodation ship for Trawler Base, Portsmouth in August 1940.

Ingenieur Minard, ex-Nomadic was the French tender which served RMS Titanic on 10th April 1912. As written, she was used by RN between 1940 and 1945 and then sent back to Cherbourg for Cunard White Star service.

Nomadic/Ingenieur Minard has been restored to her former glory and open to the public in Belfast, near the new Titanic museum.

I thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Philippe
