I thought i heard a rumour that it was going to be built at Long Beach, California with the Queen Mary which is now a luxury hotel there. No,Marc, Just wanted to know if anyone else had it-that's all. Hey, do you all know that the Nomadic (ferry used to bring passengers to and from Cherbourg) is still about. Someone bought it when it finally retired in 1970 and put in paris somewhere and only recently they found out what it was and have no made it known-cool!! Cheers.

Apparantly there are several proposals to build the new Titanic on the drawing board. Some have failed some are still afloat(pund intended.)

I remember reading about one of them it several years ago in Popular Mechanics.

The 1st I've come acroos was called the "Gigantic Project" and the ship's maiden voyage was slated for 2012.

There's also an operation by the name of RMS Titanic Shipping Holdings that proposed Titanic II originally to come out in late 1999, then pushed back to August 2000, then April 2001, now they saw 2004 or 2005.

Then there is the plan from White Star Limited that's wants to build a 500-million replica that they wanted afloat on the 90th anniversary in 2002.
White Star Lines Foundation plans to build "olympic class steamer" from what remains of the Harland & Wolff shipyard(they no longer build ocean liners but last I heard they build oil tankers. There ship is dated for 2012.

Thomas Andrews Transatlantic Line has designed a full size replica of the ship and plans the magic date of 2012 as well.

All plans sound nice, time will tell who will follow through and actually build the ship that will resemble the Titanic, except for the more obvious number of lifeboats, navigation equipment, and loss of the old "rivet" look on her hull. For more info go to the website below.

whos building it and where?

if there is iam going on it!
well if i had the money

If a new Titanic is built would it still be powered by coal? That would be a major environmental issue. If they build a new Titanic but ceratin features are changed like lifeboats and radar installed and other stuff then its not the same as the original and therefore is not Titanic......just a thought.

Adam,
Yes, I have the trivia game from the THS. It's pretty good, although the easy questions are really...well, easy!

My wife and I play it occasionally. She's kinda tired of my love of the Titanic and its facts, so she plays it just to make me happy!

Did you have a certain question about the game?

-Marc

I've heard a lot of rumors about plans for a new Titanic, there has been plans offered but no one has had enough money to put a project like this one together. I doubt anyone ever will, but if one would, I would definitely have a ticket :wink:

Hi,
i have a newspaper cutting here that says it will start Service in 2005 and will be exactly the same as the old Titanic but would have more modern safety features. If any one wants it i will type it up for you on here (if i can find it). By the way (off topic)- does anybody have (i do) a game of the Titanic Historical Society Trivia about Titanic?
From Adam Went.

please let me know when the new ship sets keep me up dated on it i mean evrything at or
please reply asap

it is possible that the new titanic might be different and it could not be different
