Now that’s a good idea. I wonder if they’ll travel at the same speed with the same departure time.

It is a shame that the USS United States is rusting away in Philadelphia. I would take a cruise over being probed by TSA perverts and stinky claustrophobic flying any day.

Will they 'park' it next to the other one?

"Hopefully the first voyage will be in warm weather with no icebergs. "

They made a movie about that, too:

But. Her sister ship Olympic survived two collisions and WWI and remained in service until 1935. She was known as “old reliable” as she never had a machinery breakdown.

Extremely unlucky and unacceptable name for a boat.

Utterly irresponsible and unseamanlike to name a boat Titanic.

No decent captain or crew would serve her.

Disgusting.

Tickets, get your tickets for the Hindenburg 2 and experience the warmth of floating on air.

On the bright side, that nasty 1912 iceberg has long melted and won’t be posing any danger to the ship.

Will there be an old car in the hold that Rose and Jack can "borrow" again? Maybe they could put a new Tesla in the hold to bring things up to date.

Did J.P. Morgan Build the Titanic to Kill Off the Competition and Form the Federal Reserve? The richest man in the world at the time was John Jacob Astor IV whom opposed central banking died that day.

It was discovered in the Nineties that the steel used on Titanic had a high sulfur content. It wouldn't have even made for good rebar.

Actually a piece of the hull was brought up and a chunk of it was sent to the Rolla School of Mines (in Missouri) for testing. They found that the rivets became very brittle when exposed to cold water which caused to pop and break when the ship hit the iceberg.
