Centenary Titanic Ted 2012 Worldwide 664151

CENTENARY TITANIC "TED" 2012 WITH BOOK - The RMS Titanic, property of White Star Corporation, was built in Belfast by Harland and Wolff Shipbuilders. She was at the time, the largest moving object ever created by man. She was also one of the most lavishly appointed ships ever built. More than just a ship, Titanic was a virtual floating palace; more of a luxury hotel than an ocean liner. Shipbuilders' magazine claimed the ship was practically unsinkable. But fate was to intervene on the ship's maiden voyage. On April 14, 1912 100 years ago - the ship struck an iceberg and sank into the icy waters of the north Atlantic. This tragic event left England and America in mourning. Steiff, wishing to pay their respects, produced a black mourning bear a bear with red discs behind the shoe button eyes to represent tearstained eyes. Now to mark the centenary of this occasion, Steiff is bringing the Mourning Bear back in a 14 inch, limited edition of 1,912 pieces, exclusively for the U.S. and U.K. markets. This is your chance to own a piece of history! Reserve your Titanic bear today. A 2012 white tag limited edition.
