Lego, a toy production company, revealed its biggest set ever in the form of RMS Titanic, the world’s famous boat. The set measured at 53 inches long, is a replica of the ship that met its fate after striking an iceberg on its maiden voyage.

The set is made up of 9,090 pieces. The replica model is divided into three compartments as it reveals the insides of the ill-fated vessel. The interior includes the first-class grand staircase that spreads over six decks. It also has a Jacobean-style dining saloon and an engine room.

The Lego ship is a 1:200 scale model. The set also includes a revamped version of the ship’s bridge, promenade deck and swimming pool.

The RMS Titanic, the largest passenger ship afloat, set sail from Southampton, England to New York on April 10, 1912. A few days after its sail, the ship, on April 14, around midnight, struck an iceberg and sank in less than three hours.

As per the US Senate report, the disaster left 1,517 dead and 706 survived out of 2,223 passengers and crew.

“At the time of its launch the Titanic was the pinnacle of nautical engineering, the largest moving vehicle ever created. It has been an incredible journey to recreate this iconic vessel from LEGO bricks, using blueprints created over a century ago,” Mike Psiaki, design master at the LEGO Group, said in a statement Thursday.

“Designing the LEGO Titanic with such a focus on immense detail and scale, but also accuracy, has allowed us to create one of the most challenging building experiences to date,” he added.

The set is available for pre-order from November 1 and general sale from November 8. The gorgeous ship will cost $629.99.
