Built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland, the White Star Line designed RMS Titanic to compete with rival company Cunard Line's luxury ships. Construction began on March 31, 1909, funded by J.P. Morgan and his International Mercantile Marine Co. The Olympic-class ocean liner Titanic was the largest one built in her day. She was 882 feet 6 inches long, weighed 46,328 registered tons, and could carry a total of 3,547 passengers and crew. Along with sister ship Olympic, Titanic was introduced to the world in a New York Times article on April 23, 1908.

Titanic surpassed all her rivals in terms of luxury and affluence, and the first class passengers for her maiden voyage included some of the richest and most prominent people in the world. Titanic offered 28 fully decorated first class suites, a heated swimming pool, four electric elevators, an indoor squash court, two libraries, four restaurants, a fully equipped gymnasium and an operating room. The first class common rooms were adorned with elaborate wood paneling and expensive furniture. Titanic was also technologically advanced for her time, with an extensive electrical subsystem and two wireless Marconi sets.

On the night of April 14, 1912, Titanic struck an iceberg during her maiden voyage and sank two hours and forty minutes later on the morning of April 15. The incident ranks as one of the worst peacetime maritime disasters in history and is by far the best known. In 1985, the wreck was discovered by oceanographer Robert Ballard and his crew, and Jean-Louis Michel of Frech oceanographic institution IFREMER.

With the RMS Titanic wooden ship model, one can almost hear the roar of the ocean waves. It is an exact replica of the original, handmade with vigilance, from the very first to the last step. Master craftsmen diligently carve high quality mahogany to create the ship's form. After it is sanded and puttied, skilled artists paint on the intricate details. Hand-casted resin and handmade metal parts also constitute the model. Clear lacquer provides the finishing touch and long-lasting protection. Each ship comes on a a display base with brass pedestals and a brass name plate. All items then undergo quality control and are delivered to eagerly waiting customers in professionally-packaged wood crates via FedEx Next Day Air. More than just a display piece, the Titanic ship model is a work of art.
