Revell Gift Set: Titanic 2 Models

The Titanic's keel was laid on March 31, 1909 at the Northern Irish shipyard Harland & Wolff. The steamer was equipped with the highest level of elegance and luxury in order to be used in the prestigious transatlantic liner service of the White Star Line. Two years later, on May 31, 1911, the Titanic was launched. With a length of 269.04 m, a width of 28.19 m and a tonnage of 46,329 GRT, she was the largest ship in the world in 1912. Captain Edward John Smith switched from the sister ship Olympic to the Titanic especially for the maiden voyage. On Wednesday, April 10th, 1912, she left Southampton. The stations in Cherbourg (France) and Queenstown (Ireland) were on the way to New York (USA). The crossing went smoothly until the lookout bell rings on Sunday (April 14, 1912) at around 11:40 p.m. (board time) due to numerous iceberg warnings. The ship touches the iceberg on the starboard side and sinks into the icy waters of the Atlantic after two hours and forty minutes. Only 712 people survived the disaster.
