The lifeboat from the Rms titanic lifeboats stands as a poignant reminder of one of history’s most tragic maritime events. Among the lifeboats of the RMS Titanic, Lifeboat No. 7 holds a unique place—it was the first to be lowered from the starboard side of the sinking ship. Though the Titanic lifeboat capacity was designed for 65 passengers, only 28 people occupied it when launched, leaving 37 seats empty. Many passengers, trusting in the “unsinkable” reputation of the great liner, were reluctant to abandon the Titanic for the smaller lifeboats on the Titanic.
This handcrafted 15-foot replica pays tribute to those historic RMS Titanic lifeboats, showcasing the same clinker-built construction that defined early 20th-century craftsmanship. The overlapping planks not only strengthen the hull but also enhance its graceful appearance. Our skilled artisans have used select western red cedar, yellow cedar, and mahogany to ensure both durability and beauty. Every intricate element is faithfully recreated — from the wooden paddles, thwarts, and braces to the lifelines, flotation gear, ropes, rudder, and tiller. The bow and stern proudly bear the White Star Line flag and the iconic SS Titanic insignia, capturing the spirit of the original Titanic lifeboats.

History:
Lifeboat No. 7 was the first lifeboat on the Titanic to be launched on the starboard side. Although it could hold 65 passengers, only 28 were aboard when it descended into the icy Atlantic. This underfilled departure reflected a tragic combination of disbelief and hesitation among the passengers, many of whom felt safer on the massive liner than in the small wooden RMS Titanic lifeboats.
Quartermaster Rowe, stationed on the aft bridge, spotted Lifeboat No. 7 drifting away and alerted his superiors. Moments later, he was ordered to fire the ship’s first distress rockets at 12:47 A.M., signaling the beginning of Titanic’s desperate attempt for help.
Today, the lifeboats of the RMS Titanic are remembered not only for their role in one of the greatest maritime tragedies but also as symbols of human courage and the lessons learned from that fateful night. This replica serves as a tribute to the enduring legacy of the Titanic lifeboats, reminding us of the fragility of even the mightiest creations of man

Over thirty years in business, our commitment has always been and will continue to be, to excellence, to tradition and to creating products that you can enjoy both for their performance and incredible beauty.

Once built, the piece is encapsulated in fiberglass epoxy resin adding an extra layer of durability and strength. At last, the water craft is ready for its nautical debut.
FAQ's
List the details of your shipping policy.
What are your canoes and kayaks made of?
Our canoes and kayaks are made of the highest quality western red cedar and some hardwoods. The larger boats are made of western red cedar, pine, and hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, teak, and some locally available woods. Our wooden watercraft are then coated both inside and out in an incredibly durable American made fiberglass and epoxy resin.
You mentioned that you use fiberglass in your boats, so what is the difference between your boats and fiberglass boats?
We only use 1 or 2 clear thin layers of fiberglass coating on top of the wood for reinforcement and added integrity. You never see any fiberglass, only beautiful, hand-joined cedar and hardwoods.
What is a typical cedar strip canoe or kayak weight?
A 15’ kayak weighs approximately 45lbs, making it very easy for one person to carry. A 16’ canoe weighs about 48lbs.

Our wooden strip canoes and kayaks are hugely popular for touring and recreational purposes. We also build wooden dinghies, wooden sail boats, classic wooden runabouts, and speedboats. Additionally, we can custom-build any design with which you supply us.

Guidelines for use
CARE:
With a little bit of care and maintenance, your beautiful canoe can last for generations. While our products are certainly durable and solid, they still require the right type of care and handling to ensure that they perform optimally.
- It is recommended that you rinse your canoe off with fresh clean water after every use.
- Upon returning from the trip, allow your canoe to air-dry in the shade.
STORAGE:
Besides taking care of your canoe, storage also plays an essential role in maintaining your canoe’s appearance and beauty.
- Always store your wooden canoe in shade.
- Turn it upside down on the support thereby keeping it off the ground.
- Hanging your boat from the rafters in your garage or shop would be ideal storage.
REPAIR:
Minor scratches can be repaired by marine spar vanish or some brand of automobile wax. Smooth the damaged area with sand paper, wipe clean, then apply marine spar vanish.
SAFETY:
Wooden Boat USA strongly recommends that a Personal Flotation Device (PFD) is worn whenever paddling.
