Another Titanic Plans Revealed

RMS Titanic, 10 April 1912

Titanic II plans have been revealed by an Australian mining entrepeneur, Clive Palmer. Palmer revealed that the Titanic II is a modern replica of the RMS Titanic that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on 15 April, 1912 after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton, UK to New York City, US.

The Titanic II will be a close copy of the original and will have some modifications for safety and comfort, Palmer explained in New York:

“It will have the same sort of design, except it will be constructed differently. So that the hull will be welded, it won’t be pop riveted for example. The power will not be by a large amount of coal, it will be diesel electric. We’ll still have three propellers because that was part of the original ship. We’ll have an additional deck which will mean that the bridge is higher and we can see over the bow. And of course we’ll have safety lifeboats, Atlantic first class lifeboats that will sail around the world themselves as little ships if need be. We’ll have radar, we’ll have satellite navigation and we’ll have air conditioning for everybody. But of course, we’ll utilize the designs and then we’ll have the same Titanic experience you would have had in 1912”.
