Titanic II: Replica of RMS
The only project of similar aim which is currently ongoing is the Titanic II project which is owned by Clive Palmer, an Australian billionaire. This ship is to be built for a 2027 launch and recreates the style of the 1912 ocean liner while integrating versatility, modernity and efficiency, including safety features. Titanic II will sail on the same path from Southampton, England to New York City as the original Titanic permitting the enthusiasts to hearken back to the legendary and mythic trans-Atlantic Liner.
The services of this replica will also be a ballroom, grand stairs, and first-class cabins as those delivered from the elegance of the original ship. Nevertheless, there will be important improvements, like for instance an improved radar and navigation system, enough life rafts for everyone on board, and instead of the initial coal engines, diesel-electric installations. Titanic II which costs are estimated to be between $700 million and $1 billion is not only just a history copy but also an embodiment of the unity of the countries and memory.
Titanic and Titanic II: Whats New?
Despite the fact that Titanic II will be designed in such a way that it will resemble the look of the first as much as possible there are some crucial differences between them. Here’s a breakdown of the key variations:
Structural and Engineering Updates:
Titanic the first was steamer that used coal and was built in the early part of the twentieth century. This calls for improvement from the original design of Titanic while Titanic II will employ diesel electrical plant to enhance the modernization of the ship. Further, Titanic II will have state-of-art technologies and implements modern type of lifeboats, which is a requirement in today’s safety measures​.
Safety and Compliance:
Most of the features that caused the Titanic’s demise included low stocks of lifeboats and absence of measures associated with safety. Titanic II, however, will fully conform to modern protocols and codes current to today’s standards of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). There will of course be lifeboats enough for all of the passengers, and the ship will be divided into watertight compartments so it won’t suffer from the flooding problems which sank the Titanic.
Passenger Accommodations:
Titanic II is already under construction and will resemble the original as to the compartments addresses to the classes and the like, however; will be more comfortable than the original Titanic. This ship is programmed to accommodate nine decks,835 cabinages can accommodate 2,435 passengers and crew. Firstly, the Grand Staircase, Turkish baths, swimming pools, stairs and the ballroom contained in the interiors will also be reconstructed, while taking into account comforts necessary for passengers on board the ship.
Symbolic Purpose:
Palmer has pointed out that Titanic II is both historical and an international project which he refer to as the ‘ship of peace’. Palmer is convinced that the project will help people to atone for past sins and bring them together for caring and respect for history.
Titanic II: Another Voyage on June 2027
Titanic II will then commence its voyage starting June 2027 in Southampton, England the original carriage, the RMS Titanic and will end in New York City. The construction of the ship is scheduled to start in 2025, and a team of engineers from different parts of the world with help of ship builders from Deltamarin and designers of Tillberg Design will build a ship that will resemble as the original ship as possible but will also be safe according to the modern norms of safety​.
Southampton to New York path was selected because passengers can relive the voyage planned for the original Titanic across the North Atlantic. This path will also include state of art navigation and radar system for maximum safety especially on regions with high instances of ice berg formation. Titanic II on the other hand, will contain lifeboats for all passengers, and better watertight compartments to solve some if not most of the safety problems that led to death of people in 1912 disaster.
Booking the Tickets?
Ticket prices for Titanic II are expected to be different, or more likely, different in reference to the class divisions of the original Titanic. Prospective customers may spend anything from several hundreds of dollars for a ride in a third-class cabin to thousands of dollars for a first-class cruise.
The official sites of Titanic II and Blue Star Line are expected to release the ticket booking information as the project goes on. Many initial calls for the shows or ticket bookings will be a result of interest registered on these platforms and therefore guarantee enthusiasts an opportunity to participate in this historical voyage. There will be dining halls, lounges, and cabins that will recreate the spatial relations the actual Titanic ship to an extent.
Conclusion
Also in 2027 Titanic II is planned, which will be a fusion of the historical trip and a contemporary luxurious cruise. Titanic II undertaken by Clive Palmer is not just a ship, an engineering masterpiece but also a reflection on the past and a signal of shared horizon for the future. With steady progress in the implementation of this particular idea, the tourists looking forward to a cruise in Titanic II will single-handedly make the maritime event one of the most popular in the recent past and present world civilization a vision of the future complete with homage to the legendary lost ship.
