Steiff EAN 403088 Titanic Teddy Replica 1912 Black
Othello Steiff Teddy bear Titanic replica 1912, On 14 April 1912 the passenger liner Titanic was speeding towards New York on her maiden transatlantic voyage when, at 11.40pm, she struck an iceberg off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, Canada. Water poured through a 90 metre gash below the waterline, and in less than three hours the liner had sunk.
