Historical Background of the RMS Titanic Model

The RMS Titanic is one of the most recognizable passenger ships in maritime history. Built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast for the White Star Line, she was the largest and most luxurious liner of her time. The ship was launched in 1911 and made her maiden—and tragically final—voyage in April 1912, from Southampton to New York. The Titanic disaster, in which more than 1,500 people died, remains to this day a symbol of human ambition, tragedy, and humility before the forces of nature. Thus, a model at this scale is not only a great addition to any collection but also a tribute to this engineering achievement and its history.
