ELI5: Why is Northern Ireland/Belfast so proud of the Titanic? Should it not be seen as an embarrassment, saying it failed pretty badly?

I'm from Northern Ireland, and I still don't get it.  
There are even places named after it here in Belfast, "The Titanic Quarter" etc etc.

Here is a quote from a tour guide at a visitor attraction in honor of the Titantic in Belfast:

"We handed our ship over to an English captain, a Scottish navigator and a Canadian iceberg. The Irish will take the blame for nothing!"

So in their minds, they see it as an issue with the operator, not the machine.
