Builds Titanic 2. Above the Grand Staircase
It is difficult to find a person who has not heard of the Titanic. Legendary ship Wrecked on his first voyage. Films and documentaries have been made about the tragedy, and numerous studies have been carried out both on the crash itself and on the design features of the liner. The Titanic was supposed to be the embodiment of dreams of travel, luxury and reliability. In 2016 they plan to create a new Titanic, and we will try to figure out what it will be. Perhaps we are waiting for a modern ship, which they decided to advertise in advance at the expense of a well-known brand, or maybe a copy of the original with modern modifications.
Major changes in the new Titanic
The 2016 Titanic cruise ship will be an exact replica of the original, although there will still be some external differences. The ship will have additional staircases and emergency entrances. These are the requirements of modern safety regulations. The capacity of lifeboats has been increased. Now it will be possible to evacuate 2,700 people on lifeboats and 800 on additional life rafts. In the original Titanic of the early 20th century lifeboats could accommodate only about 1,200 people.
In addition to safety, the 2016 Titanic 2 will be equipped with modern technologies to improve comfort. The rooms will have air conditioning, and the ship will have Helipad and a hospital. According to representatives of the shipyard where the ship is being made, there will be no televisions or wireless Internet in the rooms and on the decks. But in each cabin you can find outfits from the time of the Titanic’s first voyage. All this will allow you to better immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the past and feel like a real aristocrat. On the new liner it is planned to recreate the gym and swimming pool that were in the original, only slightly adding modern technologies and elements.
On the technical side, the Titanic replica, which will be built by 2016, will be wider and taller, although this is not visible from the photo. The increase in the size of the aircraft is also partly due to safety requirements. Wider vessels have better stability. In addition, this will allow you to add additional rooms on the ship.
Instead of steam boilers, diesel power plants and an auxiliary steam turbine will be installed on board the Titanic. This will make the ship faster, more maneuverable and at the same time economical and modern.
Construction
The initiator of the project was Australian multimillionaire Clive Palmer. It supplies coal and metal ore to China. That is why China was chosen as the place to build the ship. At the Jinling shipyard, from where the Titanic 2016 is scheduled to set off on its maiden voyage, construction of the ship is already in full swing. The contract was signed back in 2012, immediately after Palmer announced his desire to build a new Titanic. 
Before the replica of the famous liner, the Chinese shipyard launched exclusively commercial cargo ships. In this regard, several records are expected at once, if the launch is successful. All ships built at the shipyard are launched using side knurling. The Titanic would be the largest ship launched this way.
Creating a Project
A Finnish company undertook to develop the new Titanic 2016, which, based on photos and surviving drawings of the original, made a project, supplementing it with the wishes of the customer and modern safety requirements. Palmer seriously took up the implementation of his idea and does not deviate one step from his plan. Its activity suggests that it is very likely that the ship will be launched on time.
Not everyone new project I liked it, which is not surprising. The biggest concern is choosing a shipbuilding company. Lack of production experience passenger airliners could cause huge problems, according to many experts. Modern construction requirements passenger ships do not allow to exactly repeat the original, but guided by the relevant requirements, the designers made the necessary modifications to the drawings of the liner.
Interest in the new Titanic
All over the world, the news about the construction of Titanic 2 in 2016 caused a huge resonance and interest in the project. According to the initiator of the ship's construction, the cost of tickets for the first voyage to New York has already reached $1 million. However, the cost of the project itself is not disclosed. The most expensive will be the first voyage, and if it goes well, then many who wish to make the trip will be able to become passengers of the Titanic. trip around the world on a cruise ship.
Historians also showed interest in the new Titanic, and at the stage of creating the drawings they helped the engineers to bring it as close as possible to the original. Among those overseeing the project is the granddaughter of the famous Molly Brown, who survived the 1912 tragedy.
The legendary "dream ship" Titanic sank after colliding with an iceberg in the northern part Atlantic Ocean in 1912, more than a hundred years ago. Mysterious ship There are many stories, guesses and other stories devoted to it, but what can I say, the film with the participation of Leonardo DiCaprio alone collected all imaginable awards and received sky-high popularity. In general, a frantic interest in the history of the Titanic has not faded in people’s minds since the disaster. Therefore, Australian billionaire Clive Palmer decided to create a fully functional replica of the ship.
Clive Palmer's Blue Star Line plans to release a fully functional and physically identical replica of the ship in 2018, calling it Titanic II
The new Titanic will be recreated with historical accuracy, except for the addition of modern safety features and the latest navigation equipment.
The project promises to cost the company more than $430 million
Like the original ship, Titanic II will be 270 m long and 53 m wide. To get even closer to the original, first, second and third class tickets will be offered to those wishing to board the ship.
This is what the ship will look like from the inside after it is built. Compare the detailed accuracy of the new Titanic with archival photographs of the original ship's interior:
Main staircase
"Cafe Parisienne", the restaurant will be located in first class along with white wicker chairs
The Titanic was one of the first ships to have a complex of Turkish baths on board. The water was pumped directly from the open ocean and heated to the desired temperature
First class dining room
Luxury first class apartments
Wheelhouse
It will reportedly be equipped with modern navigation equipment
First class smoking room, at that time only men could be in it
Canteen for second and third grade
Even the gym will be recreated in the same retro style

If Titanic II does launch in 2018, its first route will be a cruise from Jiangsu, eastern China, to Dubai, UAE, instead of the original ship's route from Southampton, England to New York, USA
The ship plans to accommodate 2,435 passengers and 900 crew (slightly more than the original Titanic)
So that no one has to float on the door and let go of Jack’s hand with a sinking heart, the ship will be equipped with boats of increased capacity
Let's see how the fate of the new Titanic will turn out, because if you don't know, about 1,500 passengers and crew members died due to a collision with an iceberg of the original Titanic in 1912
Meanwhile, Titanic 2 is being built at an accelerated pace in China.
“Chinese Titanic” - all about the project.
1) What is the “Chinese Titanic”?
This is a floating hotel-entertainment center, conceived as a “copy of the Titanic,” which began construction in November 2016 and which will be located in the Chinese amusement park “Romandisi” on the Qijian River in Sichuan Province.
2) Does this project have anything to do with Clive Palmer's Titanic 2?
No, these are completely different projects. Palmer's project involved the construction of a ship that would be sailable and could cross the ocean. The “Chinese Titanic” will only be a floating ship that is laid up and will not move anywhere from the amusement park.
3) What happened to Titanic 2, is the project frozen?
No, the project is not even frozen, as it is written in Wikipedia, the project is completely closed. It originally started in 2012, but by 2015 it had completely fizzled out and died. There are several reasons: the intractability of the Chinese partners who were supposed to build the ship and some technical difficulties. But the most important thing is the actions of Palmer himself. He is an active Australian politician, so most likely he needed all this hype to attract media attention to his own person. Moreover, fraudulent activities related to the activities of his companies were discovered, and he even faces criminal prosecution for this reason. So it is obvious that the Titanic 2 project will not receive further development. It's closed.
4) What exactly will the “Chinese Titanic” be like?
As mentioned above, this is a floating hotel, which is being built like an almost real ship, but will not have a power plant. The exterior of the copy, according to executives, will try to be as close to the original as possible (although “the decks will still be filled with modern equipment”). The interiors will only vaguely resemble the original. The chief historical consultant of the project, Bruce Beveridge, spoke most accurately about the “insides” of the “Chinese Titanic”:
“In general terms, the Chinese Titanic will be a hybrid of 1912 and 2017. All hotel rooms will have to meet the 2017 comfort standards, so it will not be possible to arrange the cabins as they did on the original Titanic. For example, flat-screen TVs will be hidden behind the trim panels of the cabins, each room will have its own bathroom, etc. It is for this reason that it will be impossible to recreate everything as on the original Titanic.
At the same time, on the “Chinese Titanic” certain places will be recreated with complete historical accuracy. Basically, these will be premises located on the path of excursion tourist groups. The full list of these premises has not yet been approved, but this moment it already includes the bridge, wheelhouse, radio room, two officer’s cabins (not the captain’s), a super suite on deck B and at least one 2nd and 3rd class cabin each. We also planned to build replicas of the Engine Room and Boiler Room No. 1. There may be other premises, this will become known later.”
But in general, in first place it will be modern hotel with all the components, and only then – “Titanic” as history.
5) Will the Chinese Titanic hit an iceberg and sink?
Indeed, initially the Chinese wanted to implement this idea, since it seemed funny to them, and many of them generally believed that Titanic was just a Cameron film. And only after historian Bruce Beveridge joined the project, the Chinese realized how important the Titanic was for the rest of the world as a part of history, that it was not fun, but a real tragedy. As a result, it was decided to abandon this idea, and now it will just be a floating hotel.
6) When will the construction of the “Chinese Titanic” be completed?
According to the project managers, the hotel is scheduled to be commissioned in 2019. Judging by the speed of construction, this date sounds most plausible.
The Blue Star Line, owned by Australian billionaire Clive Palmer, has begun recreating the legendary Titanic shipwreck. The new ship was named Titanic 2 and, with the exception of modern filling and high system security, is an absolute copy of its older brother lying on the ocean floor.
Like Titanic 1, Titanic 2 is 882 feet long and 100 feet high. The ship's capacity is also designed for 2,400 people, including 900 crew members. The nine-deck Titanic 2 will have 840 rooms of different classes. The cost of the unique project is almost 434 million dollars. New Titanic is being built at Chinese shipyards in Jiangsu province and will be launched in 2018. From the ship will go to.
The interiors of Titanic 2 look the same as those on the legendary shipwreck. In its advertising releases, Blue Star Line offers comparisons of black and white photos of the old ship's interiors with photos of the new ship. Considering the tragic fate of the original Titanic, the similarity is not only surprising, but also shocking, making us wonder about the fate of this ship.
Surely, there are many who want to go on a trip on an exact replica of the legendary Titanic. But prudent people are unlikely to want to tempt fate.
