This RMS Titanic Lifeboat No 7 model rescue row boat was specially designed & built by the plank on bulkhead method (joining multiple small pieces of wood like western red cedar, mahogany, teak and other exotic tropical wood together on the hull). The Titanic No 7 lifeboat (the first one to be lowered from the sinking Titanic) was a clinker-built wooden lifeboat, measuring 30 feet long by 9 feet 1 inch wide by 4 feet deep. Each had a capacity of 655.2 cubic feet and was designed to carry 65 people. The rudders were made of elm - selected because it resisted splitting - and were 1.75 inches thick. The exterior of the boats were fitted with "grablines" for people in the water to hold on to.
They were fitted with a variety of equipment to aid the occupants, comprising 10 oars, a sea anchor, two bailers, a painter (effectively a tow-rope) 150 feet long, two boat-hooks, two 10 imperial gallons tanks of fresh water, a mast and sail, a compass, a lantern and watertight metal provision tanks which contained biscuits. This equipment was not kept in the boats for fear of theft, but in locked boxes on the deck. Just the perfect gift for home or office decorator, boat enthusiast or passionate collector.
