Re: Replica of Titanic

They''ve been building it for years:

"The Romandisea Titanic is an under-construction replica of the original RMS Titanic, located in landlocked Sichuan province, China. The rebuild project was first reported by media in October 2013[2] and formally launched in January 2014.[3] The ship will be the same size as the original Titanic,[4] hence 269 meters in length and 28 meters wide. "

Re: Replica of Titanic

this project was started by australian mining billionaire and politician clive palmer

however clive has had a 'few' problems and likely down to his last 100 mill, so i'd guess the yard has had to either fund the completion themselves or find another sucker

cheers,

For a theme park.

Wonder what the theme is. Sinking feelings?
