Titanic "is back! They make an exact copy of the original

The Titanic will be commissioned in 2022 and will repeat the historical route from Great Britain to the United States, which its famous predecessor never succeeds in completing.

The Titanic II project is based on Blue Star Line, headed by Australian businessman Clive Palmer.

The launch of the project was announced in 2012, but due to financial difficulties, work on it was halted in 2015 and resumed only in September this year, TASS reported.

The company intends to recreate the original Titanic's historic interior, equip it with modern navigation systems and provide all safety precautions. The cost of building the liner is estimated at $ 500 million and is estimated to be able to accommodate 2,400 passengers and 900 crew members.

As Palmer explained, the new Titanic will make its first two-week trip from Singapore to Dubai, from where the ship will sail to Southampton in England crossing the Atlantic Ocean, then arriving in New York. According to the company's plans, the ship will make weekly trips from the UK to the United States during the summer months.

The blithely legendary transatlantic liner Titanic takes on its first and last sailing from the English city of Southampton to New York on April 10, 1912.On the night of 14-15 April, however, he encounters an iceberg in the waters of the North Atlantic. It goes down after 2 hours 40 minutes.
As a result of the wreckage, some 1,500 people died and 712 passengers and crew members managed to save themselves.
