A modern Gold-plated commemorative coin. Contained in a plastic case in 100% "mint" condition. LOOKS LIKE "It has never been touched by a human hand" Diameter (approx. 35 mm) Weight approx 1.5 Ounces. Depicts RMS Titanic on one side, and much of her traversed route on the other. The uncompleted voyage route is "blank" & the terminus of her 'marked route' indicates her approx final resting place along with over 1500 unfortunate passengers, some privileged & very wealthy & others not-so :-(

RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in 1912, after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. Of the estimated 2,224 passengers and crew aboard, more than 1,500 died, making it one of modern history's deadliest commercial marine disasters during peacetime

RMS Titanic was the largest ship afloat at the time she entered service & was the 2nd of 3 Olympic-class ocean liners operated by the White Star Line

She was built by the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast. Thomas Andrews, chief naval architect of the shipyard at the time, died in the disaster

Titanic was under the command of Capt. Edward Smith, who also went down with the ship

The ocean liner carried some of the wealthiest people in the world, as well as 100s of emigrants from UK & Ireland, Scandinavia & elsewhere throughout Europe who were seeking a new life in USA

The 1st-class accommodation was designed to be the pinnacle of comfort & luxury, with an on-board gymnasium, swimming pool, libraries, high-class restaurants & opulent cabins

A high-powered radiotelegraph transmitter was available for sending passenger "marconigrams" & for the ship's operational use

Although Titanic had advanced safety features such as watertight compartments and remotely activated watertight doors, it only carried enough lifeboats for 1,178 people = about half the number on board

The ship carried 16 lifeboat davits which could lower three lifeboats each, for a total of 48 boats
