## Introduction

Welcome to the Atlantic Voyage Ape Club (**AVAC**) - a groundbreaking NFT project that offers a one-of-a-kind experience of luxury, history, and virtual reality. In April 2022, AVAC's unique and enticing concept caught the attention of enthusiasts worldwide, selling out within 24 hours of the pre-sale. The subsequent six months saw the meticulous construction of a faithful, high-quality digital reproduction of the iconic Titanic, using cutting-edge mesh technology and bespoke 3D assets, many of which were handcrafted by the talented Paul Marlborough in Blender.

We are thrilled to present the completed roadmap of AVAC, bringing the Titanic Metacruise to life as the ultimate realization of our community's vision and passion. This project is a testament to the dedication of our talented team and the enthusiasm of our loyal holders. Together, we have created an extraordinary experience that truly captures the essence of the Titanic, and we couldn't be prouder to share it with you. Welcome aboard and enjoy the journey!

Every deck of the Titanic has been painstakingly recreated, from the state-of-the-art gymnasium to the awe-inspiring engine rooms, providing you with an immersive and unparalleled virtual experience. The concept of "Metacruising" lies at the heart of 1912: Titanic, offering a digital preservation of history and allowing you to explore the famous ship as if you were really there.

As an esteemed holder of one of the 3300 AVAC NFTs, you are granted access to a cabin or stateroom aboard the Titanic, depending on the traits of your unique Ape profile picture. The most important traits include First Class Special, First Class, RAS Special Officer, Second Class, Third Class, and RAS Officer. These traits determine the level of luxury and exclusivity you will enjoy during your virtual voyage aboard the Titanic.

First Class Apes, for example, gain access to the most opulent accommodations, such as the lavish Parlour Suites and Butler Suites, while Third Class Apes can experience the camaraderie of shared cabins. No matter your Ape's traits, you are guaranteed an unforgettable journey into the world of the Titanic.

This guidebook is designed to provide you with comprehensive information on how to access and navigate the Titanic within Second Life using the Firestorm Viewer. From logging in and finding your allocated cabin or stateroom to exploring the ship's many features and learning the basics of Second Life, this guide will be your go-to resource for making the most of your virtual journey aboard the legendary Titanic.
