It’s a question that has plagued mankind for 25 years: Could Jack and Rose have both fitted on the door? 

Most people are familiar with the story of the ‘unsinkable’ ship; the real-life Titanic sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in April 1912.

In 1997, James Cameron retold a fictionalised version of the tale in his film Titanic, which starred Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack Dawson and Kate Winslet as Rose Dewitt Bukater. 

While the movie was undoubtedly a blockbuster, the ending left many movie fans wondering: Why didn’t Jack and Rose just lie on the door together to escape the icy Atlantic waters? 

Back in 2012, Mythbusters tackled the puzzle and – although Cameron later publicly disagreed – concluded that the door could’ve conceivably held both of them. 

Now you don’t have to take their word for it, because US-based company SCS Direct has created a life-sized replica of the door and turned it into a pool float, so you can test the theory for yourself.

The extra-large Titanic Pool Float measures 84 by 48 inches (or 213 by 121cm) and it even has the iconic criss-cross design and jagged edge, as seen in the original film. 

We’re reluctant to call it ‘unsinkable’ (for obvious reasons), but it is made of heavy-duty PVC plastic, so it’ll probably last through at least one Australian summer. 

The SCS Direct ‘Original’ Titanic Pool Float is available on Amazon for $29.99 US ($72.20 AUD), which granted, is fairly expensive for a pool float, but still cheaper than most airline tickets.
