2016 will be the year the Titanic II sails from Southampton
to New York, according to The Sunday Times.
Australian billionaire Clive Palmer is funding a replica of
the famous cruise ship, with plans for building to start at China based CSC
Jinling Shipyard Company.
It is estimated the the 840 cabin ship will take roughly
three years to build, with an exterior exactly the same as the original
Titanic, but an interior boasting the latest technology.
The ship will however feature swimming pools and gyms
designed in the same style as the original ill-fated vessel, and guest will be
able to dress up in clothing from the era to give the full Titanic experience.
Some may think rebuilding the ship, given the tragic story
behind it, might be in poor taste. However Clive Palmer is confident that the
venture will be popular around the world, and has no worries over generating
revenue from his latest project.
