The Titanic Book and Submersible Model

My son had to do a report on the Titanic. I thought I knew a lot about it, but this book is full of interesting facts and diagrams that taught my husband and I a few things! Of course, the model was my son's favorite part, and I have to agree that it's fantastic! The scale model is 16 inches long, pre-painted, and has 19 accessories. It floats in the tub, you slide a switch on the bottom, and a jagged gash opens where it got "hit" by the iceburg. The hull then begins to sink, and the ship splits in two and both pieces "plunge" to the bottom. You can do this over and over again. My kids still haven't tired of it, and I'll probably be ordering another one for his younger brother. Needless to say, this was a BIG hit with my son's class. He was proud of his demonstration, and I think it motivated him to work a little harder on his report. I recommend this product without reservation.

My son was so excited to find this submersible titanic model. Despite the cost we ordered it for his birthday. What came was a used paperback book - and no titanic model. Despite the text which says "The Titanic Book and Submersible Model" and the accompanying photo of the model, no model is actually included! So for $100, you are mailed a used paperback book. Unbelievable that this merchant is represented on Amazon. I returned the book the very same day and received a prompt refund, but no explanation and, as I continue to see, no correction to the listing. Horrible to watch your eight year old sob with disappointment on his birthday. What a rotten trick....

The TB&SM was avaliable from Susan Hughes & Steve A. Santini in the early 1990's. But somehow, production ended abruptly. This left people without a Book, and for those who got one are finding their books worned &/or unrecognizable. Many Titanic books have returned, such as Exploring The Titanic & Polar The Titanic Bear, still, these are hardly modernized, I think when they Re-publish this book, they should include facts such as the Expansion Joints Theory, & the trial of SS Mount Temple. In Simple English: Let's get The Titanic Book & Submersible Model NOT only Back Again, but also re-Written.

not good

I ordered this book and model for my nine year old son who is very interested in the Titanic. I loved the book with its factual information and vivid pictures but what impressed me the most was the quality of the plastic model that accompanied the book. It was simple to put together and prepainted ( thank goodness!!) and was not flimsy when once built. I liked that it could be left intact or shown how it broke apart during its sinking. This book and model is definetly well worth the price and I commend the manufacturers. I finally received something I feel was well worth the money I paid for it.

This seems like a great toy but I'm sad that's it's unavailable Because I love the titanic and this would be perfect because we (my family) just got a hot tub and it would be so much fun in it! If it's ok with you can you please put it up for sale on black Friday for only $25 or new years eve for double the price i would really Appreciate it. Thank you!

My name is Edwin Montana. I remember getting this model as a gift 16 years ago when I was a child. I resided in Pearland TX. I was like 10 or 11. I thought it was the coolest thing! I brought it for show and tell at my elementary school and everyone wanted to play with it in the bucket I had it in. I am writing this review because I have been looking for this model everywhere and I can't find it except here! I lost the model years ago and I'm looking to replace it just to have on display. But the price that I am seeing for this model is beyond crazy! Am I reading it right? You want almost $5000 for it?? Is it the only one left?? I have not bought this model yet, but my parents did not pay that when it came out 16 years ago. I think they got it for around $40.00. I must say, this is a great for kids and adults to have if they just want to have it on display or play with it in their swimming pool. I loved this model so much when I was a kid and I'll do anything to get it again to have on display. But the price.... I must be reading it wrong. Are you really wanting $5,000??? Please email me if you are the owner or company selling this. [email protected]

I love it

When my son asked me for a model of the Titanic I thought I'd have some difficulty finding something he could actually play with. I was amazed when I found this, and delighted when I received it. The model itself is straightforward to assemble and does not subject you to the hassles of glue etc! The book that accompanies it is well researched and interesting. A cracking package of fun and information.
