After the 1997 Titanic flick was released, someone announced that a Titanic II would be built, identical except for infrastructure and of course, enough lifeboats.
Wonder what became of that project? Anyway, I wouldn’t board this behemoth for all the tea in China.
Imagine a system flush failure on that barge? World’s biggest garbage scow within minutes.
Wonder what became of that project?
The Australian businessman who was funding the project has had some financial difficulties. The boat was slated to launch this year, but that's been pushed back till 2018. Construction hasn't begun yet.
In April of this year, Australia's Fairfax media was unable to determine the status of the project was.
The “Titanic II” project has been off and on for years now. From what I gather, it’s off again or at the very least, construction has yet to begin. It’s an interesting idea, and to be honest, I’d take a trip (I’m not superstitious or anything so no worries there) just to say I’ve done it. I’ve been on two cruises, and both of them turned out just fine and I had a good time.
Here’s a link to some info about the project: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanic_II
