Titanic XL Painted Model Cruise Ship
Titanic named by J. Bruce Ismay, was built in March 1909. In May 1911, she
was launched, which was a heavily publicized spectacle. The Titanic was designed
to be a marvel of modern safety technology. Her accommodations were the most
modern and luxurious on any ocean. She was 883 feet long (1/6 of a mile), 92
feet wide, and weighed 46,328 tons. She was 104 feet tall from keel to bridge,
almost 35 feet of which were below the waterline. She was capable of carrying
over 3500 peple (passenger, crew). Unfortunately, at 11:40 p.m on the 14th April
1912, the greatest maritime disaster in history began. During that night of
heroism, terror, and tragedy, 705 lives were saved, 1502 lives were lost, and
many legends were born.
