Titanic II

We don’t know if he is mad or a genius, but one thing we do know is that Australian business man, Professor Clive Palmer, plans to build a replica of the Titanic, to set sail in 2016. Historic features such as the famous staircase, Edwardian gymnasium and Turkish baths are all included in the design plans, which hope to create a sense of what it was like to be on board the vessel in 1912. Don’t get your cheque books out yet though, bids for a ticket on the maiden voyage are already in excess of £500,000.
