Explore The Titanic II: An Exact Copy Of Titanic That Is Supposed To Set Off Soon

Whenever you hear the word “Titanic”, you will definitely think of the 1912 Titanic disaster, one of the most memorable tragedies in modern history. It is so notorious that Jame Cameron decided to put it on the screen in 1997, and the movie became a hit with multiple awards. Though now we often refer to “Titanic” as a terrible catastrophe, it actually derives from the name of the mishap British ocean liner that was operated by the White Star Line. Its full name is RMS Titanic or Royal Mail Ship Titanic, also known by the nickname “Millionaire’s Special”. The Titanic was one of the largest and most opulent ships in the world, but it perished on the journey of its maiden voyage.
After the disaster, over 1,500 people, including most crews and many passengers lost their lives, and so did the luxurious ship. While the tragedy inspired numerous songs and movies, it also stimulated Clive Palmer to build a second Titanic. The businessman from Australia had always dreamed of it for a long time until 2012 when he launched the cruise ship project. Nonetheless, due to the delay, Titanic II hasn't embarked on its maiden voyage from Jiangsu in Eastern China to Dubai until today.
“The new Titanic ship will, of course, have modern evacuation procedures, satellite controls, digital navigation, and radar systems and all those things you’d expect on a 21st-century ship,” said James McDonald, the marketing director of Blue Star Line. For instance, the new ship prepared a 2,700 lifeboat capacity for 2,435 members to prevent any unexpected problems. Though Titanic II was upgraded with modern technology and equipment, its internal design was exactly the same as the original ship.
