Titanic ship models are popular among model ship collectors and history enthusiasts. RMS Titanic was the gold standard of innovation in ship building at the time. Due to fifteen watertight bulkheads which extended from the double bottom of the ship through the first five decks, RMS Titanic was believed to be unsinkable.

Commodore Edward J. Smith postponed retirement at the end of his 25 year career with the White Star Line for RMS Titanic’s maiden voyage. After disregarding warnings of an ice field, Smith was slow to act after the Titanic’s hull was ripped open by an iceberg. The collision caused flooding in six of the fifteen watertight compartments causing the water to continue to spill over into each chamber, sinking the unsinkable ship.

It has been noted that the ship was not equipped with nearly enough lifeboats to accommodate the maximum capacity for passengers and crew of 3,500 people. On that fated voyage, RMS Titanic carried only enough lifeboats to hold 1,178 people. When the survivors were rescued, it was discovered that the lifeboats held only 706 people leaving 478 empty seats and well over 1500 lives were lost in the tragedy.

The RMS Titanic sparked imagination and controversy, both before April 14 and the speculation has continued to the present time. The RMS Titanic was the subject of enquiries, investigations and stories, including the popular movies “A Night to Remember” and James Cameron’s Titanic.
