Australian billionaire Clive Palmer to build Titanic II

[YosemiteSam]

Good idea, but should have started this 4-5 years ago so the ship could have been christened on Titanic's 100 year anniversary. (of launch, not necessarily sinking)

======================================

Clive Palmer, one of Australia's richest men, has commissioned a Chinese state-owned company to build a 21st Century version of the Titanic.

The mining billionaire told Australian media that construction would start at the end of next year.

It would be ready to set sail in 2016.

The plan, he added, was for the vessel to be as similar as possible to the original Titanic in design and specifications, but with modern technology.
