Titanic II- An almost exact replica of the iconic liner, only bigger, to set sail in 2018
R.M.S Titanic was not the first nor the only liner that had a rather unfortunate destiny and found a home at the depths of an ocean, but sure is the most popular wreck that history has recorded. The unsinkable ship of dreams is the world’s most romanticized wreck, its tale has captivated the world since it struck an iceberg in the Atlantic 104 years ago.
The concept of building an exact replica of the iconic liner has been on and off for years, especially after James Cameron’s blockbuster in 1997.
However, among those who remain still fascinated by the ill-fated ship is the Australian bilioner and mining tycoon Clive Palmer who announced recently the exact replica of Titanic entitled Titanic II to set sail in 2018.
“The new Titanic will, of course, have modern evacuation procedures, satellite controls, digital navigation and radar systems and all those things you’d expect on a 21st-century ship,” James McDonald, the global marketing director of Palmer’s Blue Star Line, told the Belfast Telegraph.
