Why is a Finnish firm designing the “Titanic?” Wasn’t it designed once, already?

On paper only, if the drawings are still around.

Nothing in a format that can get fed into a computer...:^)

If my memory is working, the original builders working plans were lost when the shipyard Harland & Wolff got bombed during WW-2. They have plenty of information but I think that while cosmetically the ship will look the same, the rest of the design will be very modern indeed. Hope so anyway.
