R.M.S. Titanic, R.M.S. Olympic, and H.M.H.S. Britannic were built to the order of the White Star Line at the beginning of the 20th century. The Titanic tragically sank in 1912 during her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, becoming a symbol of the era and a maritime tragedy. Olympic served both as a passenger and transport vessel, while Britannic was converted into a hospital ship during World War I.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The Master SM-700-060 set includes a complete suite of masts, recreated with exceptional attention to detail using high-quality brass.
