Everyone is calling it the "return of a legend." Last year, Australian
billionaire Clive Palmer revealed plans for Titanic II, a modern-day
functioning replica of the original luxury liner. According to the
design plan, "While every bit as luxurious as her namesake, Titanic II
will have every modern amenity along with 21st century technology and
the latest navigation and safety systems." Passengers can purchase
tickets and experience a journey across the ocean in a real life flash
to the past, including class divisions and even costumes from the time
period.
Just like the original, the accommodations are designed to match the
finest restaurants and hotels on land. The plush furniture, carved oak
designs, wrought iron and glass dome, and grand central staircase will
mimic the grandeur of the original ship, and Palmer says, "This
magnificent vessel is to be constructed in memory of the heroic people
who served on the ship, the passengers who sadly shared their fate, and
all those that survived the tragedy."
The vessel will take its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York in
2016 and something important to note, the new design will be extremely
prepared for any emergency, equipped with 18 modern lifeboats that can
hold beyond the ship’s capacity of 2,435 passengers and 900 crew.
