Billionaire and owner of the Blue Star Line Clive Palmer is bringing back to live the Titanic with an exact replica of the boat that will offer the same ship cruise experience it did in the early 1900s to consumers today. The ship will be a carbon copy of the first with slight modifications to make it acceptable for today's marine safety requirements.
The replica vessel, entitled Titanic II, will feature a similar build and design to the original, including slight tweaks to make the experience much safer for guests. For example, the boat will be four meters wider and have enough lifeboats and jackets for all guests -- unlike the original. The ship will offer the same first, second and third class ticket systems and will sail from China to Dubai.
