The Titanic was designed to carry 32 lifeboats but at the time of the accident only had on board 20 boats, a number clearly inadequate for all passengers and crew. Compounding the size of the tragedy, many of these boats were launched half empty.
The kit includes laser cut frames for keel & bulkheads, and exotic wood strip for hull planking. Also included is the wooden deck planking, masts, spars and oars, metal and wooden fittings. The instruction booklet is very detailed, taking you through every step of construction.

The ship RMS Titanic was designed to carry thirty-two lifeboats but at the time of the shipwreck it only carried twenty, an insufficient number for all the members of the passage. The RMS Titanic, owned by the company White Star Line, was the largest and most luxurious transatlantic ship of its time. During its voyage between Southampton and New York, he collided with an iceberg and sank on the night of April 15th, 1912 in the icy waters of Terranova coast. To aggravate the dimensions of the tragedy, many of the insufficient lifeboats were dumped with fewer occupants than they could accommodate.
