New Titanic

[Terry Wilcox]

Hi All. I see by a Nationial newspaper that I certain rich person has placed an order to build a NEW TITANIC, The ship is going to be exactly the same as the old one. The ship will be launched in 2016, and be used for cruising. I was wondering if it will be the same with British crews and flying the Red Duster????? ( some hope ). Take care....... Terry

the man proposing to build it is a extremly rich Australian, apparently not very popular there, has had many grand ideas, none so far happened, extremely doubtful if the Titanic will happen, would only look like old Titanic, would be diesel electric, not steam. with all modern nav aids and more lifeboats. supposed to be built in China, if it happens.

I wonder how much they will charge for a steerage berth.

As long as its built to look like a ship, as most
of us knew them,and not like blocks of flats
as they do these days.

i would love to see it happen, would be an amazing sight, but i think just a pipedream, i think it would be a success, something really unique.

It would not be a real replica of TITANIC unless it built in Harlands in Belfast.

i think replica is misleading, maybe her profile is replicated, thats about all, for a start she would not be rivetted, engines and propulsion changed, cant imagine interior would be anything like the original, no separate passenger classes. internally she would be totally different. would be a bit of a hybrid. but only a vague chance of happening.
