What could possibly say “Dad I Love You Happy Father’s Day” better than a 6 foot long remote controlled replica of the RMS Titanic? For only $2,500 Hammacher Schlemmer will ship the Titanic to your Dad’s doorstep. Like the original, this craft took over 400 man-hour to assemble from 300 individually hand crafted pieces. Also, like it’s namesake, guaranteed not to sink hours of fun.
Injection molded plastic is used for the railings, windows, doors, and funnels, laser-cut for precise replication. The boat deck includes lifeboats flanked by davits that were used to lower the lifeboats overboard. Other details include the yellow funnel water pipes, cowl ventilators, cranes, docking deck (the rear raised deck with wheel), winches, bollards, and anchor crane. A foremast and mainmast are rigged with shrouds, ratlines, stays, and the Marconi aerial that spans the ship from mast to mast. Two rechargeable batteries provide up to three hours of cruising power for three 550-watt electric motors that drive each of the three propellers, producing a gentle cruising speed of 5 mph on calm water. Minor assembly required. Requires a three-hour recharge. The remote controls the ship from up to 75′–requires eight AA batteries (not included).
