Rare Titanic Submersible Model in First type box  

with book and assembly instructions

Ship model parts, including display stand, remain in original sealed packaging

This precision-crafted, historically accurate floatable plastic model can [with the flip of a switch] fill with water, break in two, and sink--just like the real thing!  Youtube videos demonstrate the action.  The model easily reassembles after sinking so the drama may be enjoyed over and over!   Detailed pre-colored hard plastic scale model – 16” (40 cm) long.  All ship parts present in original unopened packaging including cranes and propellers.   Before use [as seen in last image] the ship model must be assembled with the aid of the enclosed instruction sheet.  

This set is suited for ages 8 and up.  It includes small parts not suitable for children under 3 years old.  Box ends originally secured by cellophane tape of which traces remain.    Made in China.

Packaged with a book that explores the remarkable feats of engineering that went into the ship's construction as well as the engineering flaws that led to the disaster, The Science and Story of Titanic offers children a hands-on introduction to the history and principles of ship building and a look at rare, authentic documents, memorabilia, and photographs from Titanic specialist Steve Santini's private collection.
