Titanic Liner Replica Being Constructed In China

Of course, the new ship is never intended to make it to the ocean, because the building site is more than 700 miles away from the nearest water. It will serve as some kind of amusement park in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. That’s 850 miles from Hong Kong and 940 from Beijing. The finished project is expected to welcome its first visitors in about a year.

With this kind of tragic historic remembrance, would there be plans elsewhere to do similar disaster reproductions? There’s already a replica of Noah’s Ark in Kentucky. How about Napoleon’s Retreat From Moscow, Custer’s Last Stand, the L.A. Dodgers in the 2017 World Series and Hillary’s Presidential Campaign?

Titanic II: Exact Replica Of Doomed Liner To Sail PDF Print E-mail


An Aussie firm is building a new cruise ship based specifically on the design of RMS Titanic. It will feature all the luxury features of the original, and is expected to carry its first passengers in 2018. We can hope the liner will avoid icebergs in its maiden voyage.

If the plan to duplicate the disaster ship proves successful, what’s next? How about a fun resort based on the WW2 Nazi concentration camps. A joyful Broadway musical about the attack on Pearl Harbor? An all dancing, singing and booty-shaking version of the exciting San Francisco earthquake? A romantic opera based on the Bubonic Plague, where the hero is itching to get close to the heroine?
