Plans are continuing to launch a new Titanic.
A replica of the
infamous ship dubbed the Titanic II is set to make its first voyage in
2022, thanks to Australian billionaire Clive Palmer, who's fronting a
group called
Blue Star Line.
Blue
Star Line is trying to create an authentic Titanic experience,
providing passengers with a ship that has the same interiors and cabin
layout as the original vessel, while adding modern safety procedures and
21st century technology.
It
will welcome 2,400 passengers and 900 crew members, which is almost the
exact same number on board the boat that sank in 1912.
The replica project was originally announced in 2012, with a cruise from Dubai planned for 2018.
The latest update for the Titanic II project which has been
re-invigorated by Australian Business Leader and National Living
Treasure Clive Palmer.
