Deep Sea Discovery

The Story

The year is 1504 and the ill-fated and very unfortunately named ship, The Impending Peril, travels at night during a deadly storm with a skeleton crew. According to legend, a rabid whale suddenly attacks the hull, fracturing it. This, just moments after the ship is struck by lightning and catches fire. Sheesh! The doomed ship breaks into pieces and sinks instantly. There are no survivors.

500 years later an intrepid team of marine archaeologists brave the depths to explore the wreckage to uncover its secrets and collect its treasures. They are unaware; however, the wreckage is already home to dangerous sea life both known and unknown…

The Features

Deep Sea Discovery includes a fully detailed shipwreck, seafloor, divers, a rock formation, loads of sea life, and a small submersible built across three sections. Each portion of the ship is connected at a unique angle and includes complex building techniques, varied sub-models and engaging storytelling.

The model leverages glow-in-the-dark parts in key areas to further give the impression of a deep dark environment and the sections can be separated to move the model easily.

The set features multiple ball-joint connection points so you can place the divers and sea life in several different configurations and the submarine can be displayed as part of the model or removed and displayed separately. The set includes three minifigures and three skeleton pirates and measures 51cm x 26.3cm x 34.6cm (20.1in x 10.3in x 13.6in) or about the size of two 32x32 baseplates.
