Lost at the Sea Ocean Ship Metal Time Kit
The launching of Titanic took place on 31 May 1911 at 12:15 pm in the presence of Lord Pirrie, J. Pierpont Morgan, J. Bruce Ismay and 100,000 onlookers.
History of the Titanic
On a calm, moonless night on 15 April 1912, the most famous maritime disaster in history occurred 600 kilometres from Newfoundland. The most innovative ship ever designed by a human engineering genius collided with an iceberg and sank, killing 1,517 passengers and crew. The "Olympic" class ship was named "Titanic" and became a symbol of the superiority of the forces of nature over the human mind. Regardless of the terrible accident that triggered the disaster, the Titanic is to be admired as the most perfect creation of shipbuilders at the beginning of the 20th century.
At the time of her launch, she was the largest passenger steamer. Her length was 269 metres, roughly the area of three football pitches, while her breadth was 28 metres. The height from the keel to the top of the mast was 56 metres, which is about the height of a modern 20-storey building. The mass of the steamer was 52310 tonnes. This is equivalent to almost 300 Boeing 747 aircraft.
Titanic had the most advanced technology. Two steam engines and a turbine provided an output of 55,000 litres per second. A pair of three-bladed side and four-bladed centre propellers gave the ship an acceleration of 42 km/h. The entire ship was electrified. Electric bulkheads were installed between the holds, which closed when water was detected. Modern communication systems gave the captain and the officer on duty the ability to monitor all the ship's systems.
When selecting ship models for a designer to create, the "Metal Time" engineers first looked to the history of the most impeccable ships of the early 20th century and named the model "Lost at Sea". In this model, the characteristics of the super steamers of this era can be found: splendour, power and grace. Two propellers, four pipes, four decks, anchors with chains and holds with gearbox and electric motor - this ship will delight anyone interested in technical masterpieces.
The numerous components and parts of the model will give you many priceless hours of pleasure in technical creativity. The taming of the metal and the perfection of the result achieved will leave a remarkable impression and give a sense of belonging to the significant creations of the past. The Lost at Sea is a tribute to the audacity of the inventor and the courage of the crews of the great steamships of the 20th century.
Century. Therefore, the Lost at Sea model should definitely be added to your collection.
Features, advantages
The Lost at Sea model is one of Metal Time's largest models. This is confirmed by the oversize of the super steamer that turned out to be its model. Therefore, the number of parts and elements of this model is many times higher than the simpler ready-made models. This guarantees an exciting immersion into the theory and practice of shipbuilding at the time of the steam engine.
The model is equipped with an electric motor with gearbox that drives the ship's propellers instead of a steam engine.
The hull of the ship forms the back of the demonstration platform. Curved cuts are made on the sides to imitate waves. Through cut-outs on the sides, one can observe how the mechanisms work.
The prefabricated model "Lost at Sea" will decorate the interior of the home of the lover of adventure novels and the wind-salted "Sea Wolf". The legendary super liner will reflect the unprecedented love story of a romantic schoolgirl and symbolise luxury and innovation on the desk of a businessman.
The precise cutting of the set eliminates the risk of cuts during assembly. The parts fit exactly into each other and do not lead to joint problems. The pleasant feel, durability and aesthetics of the brushed metal constructively differentiates steel parts from plastic or wooden parts used by other designers.
The matching flat packaging made of durable, environmentally friendly cardboard integrates the solidity and aesthetics of a status gift. Every buyer of a Metal Time model receives a club badge, a thank-you card and a special number for each model. Joining the Metal Time Club opens up further opportunities for each customer.
