Kids Version Titanic Lifebelt

The Titanic did not carry lifebelts specifically designed for children, so I created a scaled‑down version of the original to give kids a hands‑on experience.

The child‑sized lifebelt is nearly indistinguishable from the full‑size version unless the two are viewed side by side. This reproduction is approximately 27% smaller than the original.

Details

• Fabric: Natural‑colored cotton canvas with matching one‑inch‑wide twill.

• Cork Blocks: Approximately 1.4‑inch‑thick cork cells, with six blocks on each side, divided down the center.

• Whip Stitching: Double‑threaded and cross‑stitched over the twill tapes using linen thread.
