Titanic II Interior Plans Revealed [View all]
An Australian billionaire has released blueprints for the Titanic II, with plans to set sail across the Atlantic in 2016.
Real estate and coal magnate Clive Palmer announced his plans at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in New York on Tuesday. He said the replica will look and feel like the original Titanic. Some people may be uneasy about the idea, but Palmer said others are clearly fascinated by the Titanic's story.
"The area (for) passengers will be authentic,with the same design and facilities. But there will be modern things such as air conditioning and other features we are debating - such as Internet on the ship," Palmer said at a press conference.
The ship will be built in China. Crew members' outfits will be inspired by the styles of 1912. There will be dishes from the original menu for passengers to enjoy, Palmer said.
The Titanic II will carry 2,600 passenger and 900 crew members. There will be enough lifeboat space for all of them.
