Cruise Ship Line Prepares To Build and Launch Titanic ll

They are appointing the ship with Titanic era amenities and furnishings and forgoing today’s luxuries. There will be an authentic “Edwardian Gym.”

See pictures after the jump. (I’m pretty sure these pictures are from the movie Titanic and not from any existing boat.)

True Fact: Despite the catastrophic events, the Titanic’s saltwater pools remain filled to this day.

The ship will be launched by The Blue Star Line.

Here are the specs. I notice they’ve upped the amount of lifeboats. Screen Shot 2016-02-10 at 6.41.19 PM

  1. I’m a seasoned cruiser, I have been on 27 cruises with 4 more planned this year. I never heard of The Blue Star Line. It’s very doubtful I would cruise on that line, I’ll stay with the ones that give me the best perks and safety reliability. I do have stories to tell, but will save that for another time.

  2. Well, I hope they correct the three biggest problems that sunk the original Titanic:
    1-A “sharper” hull (more “V” shaped). The original hull was very flat and shallow, and unable to make the sharp turn necessary to avoid the iceberg.
    2-A deeper keel. See #1 above.
    3-Better tempered steel. The original steel hadn’t been tempered well, and was brittle, thus prone to cracking – especially when run up against an iceberg (ya think?)
