Titanic Painted XXL Exclusive Edition Cruiseship Model

The RMS Titanic, conceived by J. Bruce Ismay of the White Star Line, was built at Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland. Construction began in March 1909, and she was launched on May 31, 1911, in a highly publicized event. The Titanic was designed to be the most luxurious and technologically advanced ocean liner of its time, measuring 883 feet long, 92 feet wide, and weighing 46,328 tons. She could accommodate over 3,500 passengers and crew. On April 10, 1912, the Titanic set sail on her maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City, with stops in Cherbourg, France, and Queenstown, Ireland. Onboard were 2,240 people, including some of the world's wealthiest individuals and many emigrants seeking a new life in America. Despite ice warnings, the ship continued at nearly 21 knots. At 11:40 p.m. on April 14, 1912, the Titanic struck an iceberg, breaching five watertight compartments. As the ship sank, lifeboat shortages left many stranded. By 2:20 a.m. on April 15, the Titanic broke apart and sank, resulting in the loss of over 1,500 lives. Only 705 survivors were rescued by the RMS Carpathia. The tragedy led to major maritime safety reforms, including lifeboat requirements and 24-hour radio operations. The Titanic remains a symbol of human ambition and vulnerability, capturing the world's fascination over a century later.
