RMS Titanic
This model of the Titanic is one of the first models I ever built, making it a great starting point for anyone looking to get into the subject. Since it was one of my first models, it contains historical inaccuracies and the details are far from up to date, but it’s still a wonderful way to get a first impression.

HMT Olympic
The RMS Olympic was a White Star Line ocean liner, launched in 1910 as the lead ship of the Olympic-class trio, which also included her famous sisters Titanic and Britannic. She entered transatlantic service in 1911 and quickly earned a reputation for reliability and comfort, unlike her ill-fated sister. During the First World War, she was requisitioned as a troopship under the designation HMT Olympic, earning the nickname "Old Reliable" for her service transporting troops and even ramming and sinking a German U-boat in 1918. After the war, she returned to civilian service, undergoing refits to convert her from coal to oil power and continuing to operate the prestigious Southampton–New York route throughout the 1920s. Despite her popularity, the Great Depression and declining passenger numbers took their toll, and she was withdrawn from service in 1935. She was subsequently sold and scrapped, ending a long and largely successful career of nearly a quarter century in 1937.

RMS Queen Elizabeth
The RMS Queen Elizabeth was a Cunard Line ocean liner, launched on the River Clyde in Scotland in 1938 and named after the wife of King George VI. At the time, she was the largest passenger ship ever built, a title she held for decades. Due to the outbreak of the Second World War, she was secretly commissioned and initially used as a troopship rather than a passenger vessel, carrying Allied soldiers across the Atlantic throughout the war. After extensive refitting, she finally entered commercial transatlantic service in 1946, operating alongside her running mate, the RMS Queen Mary, on the prestigious Southampton–New York route for Cunard. Together, the two ships dominated luxury ocean travel for over two decades. As jet air travel grew popular, demand declined, and she was retired from service in 1968. She was later sold and eventually caught fire and sank in Hong Kong Harbour in 1972 while being converted into a floating university.

Saloon steamer Berlin
Initially used for seaside resort services between Stettin and Swinemünde, the steamer Berlin suffered a steering failure on July 24, 1914, near the Oder's mouth. Traveling at full speed, it rammed and split the oncoming tugboat Ostsee, which was towing the Swedish freighter Porjus. A subsequent collision with the freighter caused the Berlin to sink bow-first into the shallow waters, leaving its upper decks above water. After WWI, the small steamer was repaired and returned to its original route. In 1935, it was acquired by J.F. Braeunlich. Requisitioned by the Kriegsmarine in WWII but returned in 1940, it maintained limited local service before assisting in East Prussian refugee evacuations during the war's final weeks. Post-war, the ship was ceded to the USSR, operating in the Black Sea as the Pestel until around 1960.

SS Bremen
SS Bremen was a German-built ocean liner constructed for the German shipping company Norddeutscher Lloyd (NDL) to work the transatlantic sea route. Launched in 1928, Bremen was notable for her high-speed engines and low, streamlined profile. At the time of her construction, she and her sister ship Europa were the two most advanced high-speed steam turbine ocean liners of their day. The German pair sparked an international competition in the building of large, fast, luxurious ocean liners that were national symbols and points of prestige during the pre-war years of the 1930s. She held the Blue Riband, and was the fourth ship of NDL to carry the name Bremen.

SS Californian
SS Californian was a British steamship operated by the Leyland Line. She is best known for her controversial role in the Titanic disaster of 1912, as she is believed to have been the nearest ship to Titanic when it struck an iceberg and sank. Although her crew observed distress rockets, no rescue attempt was made at the time. Subsequent American and British investigations concluded that a faster response might have saved many lives and strongly criticized Captain Stanley Lord for his inaction. Lord spent the rest of his life disputing these findings. A later review in 1992 concluded that, while Californian should have responded, it is unlikely that any action could have significantly changed the outcome beyond rescuing survivors already in lifeboats. During World War I, Californian served as a transport ship and was sunk in the Mediterranean in 1915 after attacks by German submarines.
