I heard someone was building a replica of the Titanic and it's supposed to launch/sail fairly soon?

Question

Or is this just hype and hogwash? It's a little longer than the original, very seaworthy and named Titanic II.

Answer 1

I haven't heard of this, but if it's true I don't think it's a great idea.  First of all there's the whole stigma of the Titanic tragedy, who'd actually go for a cruise, haha?  Also, the Titanic was the best thing in it's day, but by todays standards, it would be a rather tiny and undefurnished dissapointment with too few amenities.  I mean, the Titanic didn't even have a casino, theater, spa, or swimming pool :p

Answer 2

There was a group of investors from Australia who intended to build a cruise ship that looked like the Titanic after the movie came out but the deal fell through so no Titanic 2 sorry.
