FAQs

Is this a toy? 

We have designed our products primarily as educational models for all ages. Some of the internal mechanisms can be delicate, so you should take care not to drop it.

It's a good habit to use both hands when you carry it, so that one half doesn't fall.

Other than that, there is a choking hazard from small parts that can break off. So it's not intended for children under 5 years.

How does the submersible Titanic ship work? There is a switch located on the deck. If you push it forward to the "Sink" mode and place it in water, the ship will slowly begin to fill with water through the hole in the starboard hull. The bow begins to sink, and then the ship breaks in half, much like the ill-fated original Titanic ship. Then you simply recover the two halves, empty all of the water, and put them back together.

How fast will it ship? 

Our shipping is full speed ahead, Captain.

We ship with USPS Priority Mail, and most orders ship out within 1 business day.

Do you have helpful tips for the products you sell? Yes, we include helpful tips along with several "extras" for you in every box!

What material is used to make the models? Great question. The models are made using a non-toxic, eco-friendly type of "plastic", which is made from starchy plants!

Will you ship outside the US? Not yet, but we are currently looking into this option.

Is there a way to make the ship sink more slowly? First, it's important to empty as much water out of the ship halves before sinking again. Any water remaining in the ship when it is put back together speeds up the sinking process. You can actually set the thumb switch to around the halfway position (sometimes even a bit farther back ), and the ship will sink a little slower, as it takes a little longer for the water to get in.
