Clive, make sure none of your workers brags that it is unsinkable and then carves the words, “Not even God can sink this ship” on the hull. Just saying....

In what some may consider a temptation of fate for a remake of a notoriously "unsinkable" ship that sank, a representative of the Finnish designer of the Titanic II said it will be the "safest cruise ship in the world."

Er, the builders may want to try a little humility this time around.

The photo is believed to be the last photo ever taken of the RMS Titanic before it sank in April 1912.

They might want to have enough life boats for everyone. It could be a very beautiful ship, yet I think keeping it in dry dock as a ocean-side hotel might be a better move then sailing it.

The investor made his money in minerals and natural resources.

Cruise ships, transportation, real estate, and branding are something else entirely.

He's starting with a tragic brand...and it's like buying a hole in the ground and trying to dig your way out.

Perhaps he should start with something smaller...like a Hindenburg.

“He said construction is scheduled to start soon in China. “

Even the most ardent Communist China supporter knows that you wont need an iceberg to sink this Titanic

Building it in Chingchang?! Never get ME on it. Judging by the level of toxic stuff in everything else that comes out of chingchang, that ship will contain so much toxic material, a five-night cruise could be enough to ruin one’s lungs, liver and kidneys. No thanks. I’ll stick with Royal Caribbean.
