At more than 53 inches long, the model is a replica of the doomed liner, which, at the time of its maiden voyage, was the largest passenger ship afloat.
The original Titanic set sail from Southampton, England, to New York on April 10, 1912.
Late on April 14, around midnight, it struck an iceberg and sank in less than three hours. According to the US Senate report on the disaster, 1,517 people died and 706 survived out of 2,223 passengers and crew.
Made up of 9,090 pieces, the replica model divides into three sections to reveal the interior of the ill-fated vessel, including the first-class grand staircase, which sprawls over six decks, as well as a Jacobean-style dining saloon and the engine room.
The Lego ship is a 1:200 scale model and also includes a recreation of the ship's bridge, promenade deck and swimming pool.
The set won't come cheap though: Available for pre-order from November 1 and general sale from November 8, the ship will retail at $629.99.

How many pieces is the iceberg?
Most interesting news I’ve heard all day. Thanks.
I just know that this is going to be a classic...
That’s a lot of Lego’s to potentially step on.
this is not going to end well...
Especially from CNN.
That’s going down like a Lead Zepplin

The Titanic II, which is a functioning replica of its ill-fated predecessor, will make its maiden voyage in 2020.
The $500-million luxury cruise liner, built by China, is a reconstruction of the original Titanic, which met its infamous fate back in 1912. The Titanic, although being constructed more than 100 years after its ancestor, will feature the period décor and layout design.
Not my kind of thing, you just know some leftist cuck out there will be screaming “TOO SOON”…
I think it might actually be unsinkable as Legos float.

Yikes.
It’s NOT The Babylon Bee?????
The Lego Art World Map features 11,965 pieces but it looks incredible boring to build and then you need to hang it on a wall.
I would rather build the Titanic, if I had the spare time to do such things.
Captain Biden is at the helm.
