one does suppose he will arrange to sink it in the same spot!
Why is a Finnish firm designing the “Titanic?” Wasn’t it designed once, already?
Oops, that last pic of the tipped over Costa Concordia doesn’t bode well.
Does the new Titanic come complete with a huge gash in the side?
Guess the Lee Key Shipyards was outbid.
Imagine how much good he could do with his money.
Sounds like a prelude to a James Bond jewelry heist.
isn’t this like thte third rich nut doing this? last time i heard it was gonna be on south africa or somewhere...
on teh serious side, what could possibly go wrong?
“An Australian Billionaire Is Building A Nearly Exact Replica Of The Titanic”
geez, I hope it’s not exactly like the original
i.e. more life boats!
The modern enclosed lifeboats in open wells along the sides of the hull are a tad bit different than the clinker hull lifeboats carried on the original ship. Those are of course represented by props up on level of the original boat deck, which are too far above the waterline to meet current regulations.
Maybe someone can construct an exact replia of the iceberg.......
Actually I’m kind of interesting to see how liberals react to this. The nazis made a propaganda film about the Titanic with the evil bankers being the cause of the sinking.

Wonder if the smoking room will still be all male, or even if they will allow smoking? God forbid anybody smoke a stogie in public.
