The Titanic may have sank over 100 years ago but the stories of the individuals of the ship will as Celine Dion sings “go on and on”.
Plans have been put in place to allegedly reconstruct an identical copy of the original titanic. After the halt of the project back in 2015, Australian business man and politician, Clive Palmer, has announced that the project will resume. Palmer has stated that “the ship will follow the original journey, carrying passengers from Southampton to New York, but she will also circumnavigate the globe, inspiring and enchanting people while attracting unrivaled attention, intrigue and mystery in every port she visits.”
The ship will, of course, be rebuilt with special attention to the aspects that went wrong with the original Titanic. According to CNN, Titanic II will be outfitted with plenty of lifeboats, and will have a welded hull. The ship will also entail navigation and radar equipment that is modernized to better fit into this time period. CNN also reports that according to Blue Star Line, the ship will have 835 cabins which will accommodate 2,435 passengers. Tickets will be available for first, second, and third class purchase, similar to tickets sold when the original voyage took place.
It is said that China is also building their own version of the Titanic, which was reported in 2016. The Titanic II will be ready to sail as soon as 2022. In the meantime, there is an opportunity for tourists to take a dive into the ocean to view and examine the original titanic that sank back in 1912. CNN states that the American company OceanGate has scheduled diving trips for 2019 with pricing placed at $105,129 per person.
