Titanic "Anniversary Edition"

Titanic "Anniversary Edition" Hand-crafted in the USA Approximate Size: 5.63in Shortly before midnight, April 15th, 1912, on her maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City, the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic. Carrying 2,224 people, including the very wealthy, as well as over a thousand emigrants, the luxurious passenger liner was the world's largest ship afloat. Although deemed "unsinkable" by the press, the huge vessel soon began to list. With far too few lifeboats to save all of its desperate passengers, when the ship finally broke apart and sank at 2:20 am, 1,514 people tragically lost their lives. Although one of the worst sea disasters in history, the tragedy led to major improvements in maritime safety. CRYSTAL WORLD honors the memory of the Titanic, her passengers and crew, with this special Anniversary Edition, created in full cut, faceted crystal. TITANIC - ANNIVERSARY EDITION will make the perfect gift for any history fanatic, sailor, or romantic. This is a limited edition crystal replica, measuring 6 5/8" long, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
