Oh good, they are going to build another one

Ah well, as long as they don't get Celine Dion to sing at the launch. Or anywhere else for that matter.

Where do these people get the backing? Imagine your bank manager's face: "I've had this brilliant idea, Mr. Smithers!"

Oh wait. Actually, I've had a brilliant idea! A replica R101 airship to fly the passengers to their port of joining the Titanic!

"Mr. Smithers! I've had this brilliant idea! Mr. Smithers? "

About the time the wreck was discovered, a businessman was on the radio as he had just oredered four Titanics from Harland and Wolfe for cruising with the first in about two years

All H&W said was as with all projects at this early stage, it is subject to confirmation...which of course never came but he did have a lot of free publicity and it might well have been a genuine idea...but...reality???

Do they have enough matchsticks?
I thought they were all used up in that model months back!

They've been busy growing more trees

Howdy Ian.

You know, the ones who steal from the poor and give to the rich.

another one to add to the list - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replica_Titanic

That's not the link I thought it was, there is a web page that has the story of 4 or more announced Titanic replica projects that didn't obviously happen, I'll see if I can find it.
Can't find it, so here's one replica that has been left to rot, the one used on Raise the Titanic

If they do build it, it will be a sight to remember

Good one Garry.

It would be...

A fright to remember
