Titanic Document Box with 26 items from launch through memorial service

"Extremely well done and fascinating to look through, this box of documents is engrossing. It is a window into not just Titanic but the era. A person could easily spend several hours absorbing all of these documents."

— Lee Wright | Founder | The History List | History Camp | The Pursuit of History

Reproduction of 26 documents come in a black storage box with the White Star Line logo.

The storage box is shipped flat to eliminate the need for a shipping surcharge. It takes less than 60 seconds to fold to together to create the box for the documents.
