They said it will have enough life boats for all of the passengers.

[camle]

what could possibly go wrong?

[jalisco555]

As in most disasters it wasn’t just one thing. A whole series of things had to go wrong for that ship to sink.

[EdnaMode]

Not sure if they’ve started yet.

-—It doesn’t make any sense to replicate those in a modern cruise liner...——

Right, but it’s a specialty vessel with a nostalgic “hook”.
You’re paying for a lot of the 1912 experience, not the 2018 experience.

Also, it’s a lot smaller than modern cruise ships. Less expensive to build and maintain.

They’ll make money on it.

and no A/C in the cabins

Of all the sins the gods despise, the greatest of these is hubris.

Hopefully, it doesn't retrace the route all the way to the ocean floor.

Granted, but after the first voyage, if they make it, I suspect the reviews will not be so great...

[marron]

Hopefully no one will be challenging God this time “God himself couldn’t sink this ship!!”

If anyone says anything like that, get off the boat.

Better use something better than rivits and cheap steel.

[Thunder 6]

But...why?

[dfwgator]

[lurk]

Better steel. Better nav equipment. Better watertight flood doors. Better lifesaving equipment. Better communications. Better decision. Making.

There are so many things to improve. That said, a retro new Titanic sounds fun.

If History repeats itself then it could cost Your Life...

[BitWielder1]

Bigger rudder.
More Lifeboats.
No trying to set speed records.

[Dahoser]

If this goes well, maybe they can replicate the Hindenburg.

I'm thinking the same thing. Maybe they can make a package deal where you take the Hindenburg II to the dock to pick up the Titanic II.

[faucetman]

It’s not a “replica”. It’s a restomod.
