This Kit is a “Premium Version” by virtue of the fact that it includes many new and different features that do not have to be purchased separately like wooden decks, photo-etched parts, brass chain, etc. together with a limited 1,500 production run.
The Academy 400 scale is the finest new model kit of the RMS Titanic to date and a great improvement in overall quality including the strength of the plastic. Academy has produced a model that does not have some of the problems encountered in earlier versions when the decks didn't always fit without major adjustments. The molding process is a work of art; the hull is cleanly detailed where even decks and staterooms are identified on the parts which makes for ease of assembly. Paint and glue are not included in the kit. Colorful instruction books are excellent and easy to understand with pictures; everything is labeled and numbered. The windows are nicely detailed. Another feature is the wood grain in the deck planking. The foredeck has many more details than other Titanic models including a center anchor well, machinery for the chain mechanism and hatch number one. The masts are strong and have a good amount of flexibility. The funnels have ladders and pipes that easily fit together and an easy way to rig the funnels is shown. Helpful hints like this are reasons we believe will make this a popular model.
This Premium Edition kit of the Titanic will allow you to build a truly museum quality model of this famous ship. Premium detail parts so exquisite in detail that you can almost imagine the passengers strolling the decks on their fateful maiden voyage.
Right: Examples of the clear and colorful instructions showing some parts and assembly

The feature story covers the grand opening on April 8, 2010 in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee of the newest Titanic Museum Attraction that was greeted by an enthusiastic and overflowing crowd. Although rain was falling, as far as the eye could see a colorful ocean of umbrellas filled the surrounding parking lot, entertainment platform and ship. At the front of the stage were special guests––collectors and contributors of both Branson and Pigeon Forge museums, including yours truly, descendents of family members of Titanic passengers, media from all the networks including live radio programming and the Internet.
Standing on “Titanic's” imposing bow was “Captain Smith” who christened the ship with champagne. Bagpipers played and singers sang the national anthem at the raising of the American flag on Titanic's foremast. After the official ceremonies ended, the cast of “Titanic, the Musical” sang selections followed by free evening concerts to crowds that overflowed onto the sidewalks and nearby properties. Traffic on the well-traveled Parkway through Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountains National Park came to a halt when Saturday’s fireworks display choreographed to James Cameron’s Titanic movie theme, the haunting, “My Heart Will Go On” played as the night sky lit up for miles around.
This issue includes the conclusion of Oceanic III, The Unfinished Dream by Timothy Trower, the result of years of research to bring her story to date. Engineering in September 1952 summed it up: “Unfortunately, due to the depressed state of shipping at the time, the construction of the vessel had not gone very far before it was brought to a halt. As a result, Queen’s Island was denied the honour of building the first vessel to have a length of 1,000 feet and completing what would have been truly a remarkable achievement in the sphere of shipbuilding and marine engineering. Nevertheless, the fact that such a bold design was ever contemplated suffices to prove how far Messrs. Harland and Wolff had by then progressed along the path of Diesel engine development for marine propulsion.”
The most fascinating images, quality printing, precise fitting, strong and rich materials in this challenging puzzle for all ages. Great family fun to see Titanic come to life when completed. All these define Clementoni’s High Qualiy Collection. An elegant puzzle line designed for those who have a passion for details.

A metal dangle Titanic charm commemorates the timeless journey of the ill-fated liner.
If you had been astern of Titanic on that fateful night in 1912, the last word to flash before your eyes as the great ship plunged beneath the waves would have been “Liverpool.” The ship’s loss, a national and international tragedy was indeed, a tragedy for the city whose connection with the disaster is often overlooked by Southampton and Belfast. This fascinating book highlights for the first time the extraordinary stories that link Britain’s pre-eminent port city with its most famous maritime loss. Drawing on material from the White Star Line archives, the extensive holdings of the Merseyside Maritime Museum and a variety of historical sources, the author, one of the curatorial staff at Merseyside Maritime Museum since 1982, unearths the back story of key characters with Liverpool locales. Many of Titanic’s officers and crew were either from Liverpool or had strong links with the port; the ship’s owners were based in the city and many of the most colorful tales to emerge from the disaster relate to Liverpool people. Titanic and Liverpool casts a new light on a familiar story and establishes the clear relationship between the doomed ship and her home port.

The book's Introduction dated October 2008 was written by Millvina Dean who said, "The Titanic meant very little to me at the time. Nobody seemed to talk about it very much and the fact that my father had died on the ship didn't really make a huge impression on me. After all, what was the Titanic to me? It didn't seem to have any bearing on my world at all. That I had been the youngest survivor of the disaster meant even less! My mother told me the facts and that was that."
