R.M.S. Titanic Model Set

The Titanic achieved fame due to the tragic events that overtook her during her maiden voyage on 14th April 1912. The Queen of the Sea was to carry 1.316 passengers from Southampton to New York. At around 11.40 p.m. that night, the British luxury liner collided with an iceberg in the Atlantic and was torn open on the starboard side over a length of almost 100 m. On April 15 at around 0.20 a.m. the Titanic sank and 1,503 of the 2,206 people on board were killed. The 46,329 GRT and 267 m long ship had a displacement of 66,000 t.
