    I wonder where he will get the Coal Trimmers from ? or qualified seamen , The thought of a giant toy crewed by Asian Crew trying to replicate Edwardian Opulance makes me want to book with Costa Cruises

    hi Margaret, she would not be driven by steam, no boilers, funnels would be false, apart from one, would be diesel/electric same as modern ships, built to to-days safety standards, with enough lifeboats,

    Would not put to much credence into this venture as he is trying to get his snout into the trough by contesting a seat in Queensland for federal politics so naming a ship Titanic that a wanna be politician has anything to do with must be subject to ridicule.
    That's the way the mop flops.

    My thanks to Brian for this site.
