Question

What became of the Titanic "2" ship to be constructed, graced the cover of popular mechanics back in 97or 98?

Answer 1

The deal fell through due to lack of investors. the concern was that the Titanic craze would fade away before the ship was finished and the investors would be stuck with a ship that couldn't compete with the regular cruise ships. This thinking nearly got the Queen Mary 2 redesigned along far more modern lines instead of the more clasical look of the Queen Elizabeth 2.

Answer 2

As above. They ran out of $$ and couldn't get a replica of Titanic to comply with safety standards (Lloyds 100a1 for example).

But it's bound to happen one day
