"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.

We gave this to our grandkids after touring the traveling Titanic Exhibition in Boston. They loved going through the box as if it was a treasure box. They talked about each item and related it to their time at the exhibit. The next day I asked my daughter where the box was and she said my grandson has it hidden under his bed where he keeps all his ‘special’ collections. It was a great enhancement to their tour. Thank you!
I enjoyed receiving your Titanic collection, and it’s like a trip back in time viewing all of the documents from its construction and voyage to the tragic memorial service afterwards. Future generations need to view things like this in order to understand what truly happened. I only wish there had been more documents and photos included. A very nice collection for any Titanic historian.
I bought this for my 8 year old great grandson,who is obsessed with the Titantic. I saw a video of him opening up the package , and shouted in joy," OH, White Star Line !!!!" . He was so enthused to see everything that was included in that package. I remember that enthusiasm about the Titantic at his age as well. My great grandfather had sold books about it ,door to door, a year after its sinking.
Fantastic!! Very informative and loaded with memorabilia for novice and expert Titanic collectors.
A bit of a wait to receive it but very nice.
If you are a Titanic enthusiast you will love it.
I know my daughter will love the documents and they will add to her teaching high school history.
I briefly looked through the documents and they are very interesting. I’ll be giving this as a Christmas gift.
I bought this for my sister for Christmas. She is going to love it! Not just all the documents included (and there are a LOT!) but the box with the White Star Line sticker as well. I can't wait to see the look on her face when she opens it! Thanks so much!!
