历史学家和航海迷们可能想要收藏一件。乐高推出了其史上最大的模型，即世界最著名的轮船-RMS泰坦尼克。

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.

历史上的泰坦尼克号于1912年4月10日从英格兰的南安普敦起航，前往纽约。

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.

4月14日晚，大约午夜时分，泰坦尼克号撞上了一座冰山并在不到3小时沉入海底。根据美国参议院对这起灾难的报道，在2223名乘客和船员中，有1517人死亡，706人幸存。

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.

乐高推出的泰坦尼克号模型包括9090块零件并由三个部分组成。这三个部分展示了这艘命运多舛的游轮的内部，具体包括延伸到6个甲板的、富丽堂皇的楼梯、雅各布风格的餐厅和发动机室。

"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.

Mike Psiaki，乐高公司设计大师在周四的声明中说道：“泰坦尼克是迄今为止所建造的最大的轮船，其在诞生之际就代表着航海工程的巅峰。利用一个多世纪之前的蓝图并借助乐高的零件来重现这艘象征意义的轮船是一种令人难以置信的体验。”

"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.

他补充表示：“设计乐高版泰坦尼克游轮的同时把重点放在各种繁复的细节、规模以及精确性上使得我们拥有了迄今为止最具挑战性的建筑经验之一。”

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.
