Titanic II, a replica of the Titanic, which infamously was declared “unsinkable” and promptly sank on its maiden voyage after hitting an iceberg in 1912, killing 1,503 people, is being built for a whole new journey across the Atlantic. The Titanic II project is the ambitious brainchild of Australian billionaire Clive Palmer. The real estate/coal mining magnate had announced his plans in 2012

In order to meet modern safety standards, it won’t be precisely like the original. It will have a welded and not riveted hull and be about four yards wider. But like the original, it will have first, second and third-class tickets for sale. And presumably the new liner will feature more lifeboats; there were too few to accommodate the passengers on the original ship, and when those were launched they tended to hold only a fraction of capacity. It is considered one of the primary reasons so many ultimately died when the ship sank.

The new ship will be almost 300 yards long and 57 yards high, with nine floors and 840 cabins that can hold 2,400 passengers and 900 crew members. It will have a swimming pool, Turkish baths and gyms, among other amenities.

The maiden voyage will be from Jiangsu in Eastern China to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. The original Titanic was scheduled to sail the Atlantic Ocean from Southampton, England, to New York when it sank 400 miles (644 kilometers) south of Newfoundland, Canada.
