I honestly dont believe there's anything wrong with building a replica of The Titanic. With obvious modern internal structures, propulsion (i really dont see men shovelling coal into giant burners), and navigation. Some people will say "why would you do that?"....that's easy, first to complete the voyage that the original never made. second, a nice tribute to those who perished. And finally third, wouldnt it be cool to travel on a vessel decked out from top to bottom in the old style, when ocean liners had class. I mean compared to modern ships Titanic isnt so "titanic" anymore. But it certainly was far more ellegant. Anyway that's just my view.

Plus ships of modern times aren't built like Titanic (from the "back bone" up). Today's ships are pre-built in sections and sent to the yard for final construction. Indeed, Titanic (along with her sisters and other classic ships) were works of art. Blood, sweat, and tears LITERALLY went into the construction of these fine ships. The ship was almost alive with its own personality and "soul". Like the Mona Lisa painting, there can be only one that's the best - the original! Oh, sure you can Xerox the original, but it wouldn't be as good as the original. I've said it before, but here it is again: "...You can built a ship and name it Titanic, but it wouldn't be Titanic. Any other ship, even an exact duplicate, is just that - a duplicate. It wouldn't have the "soul" of the Titanic, and that's a big thing to be missing".<br /><br />Still, if they did build a Titanic 2, I'd take a trip on her! <img src="http://www.titanic.com/uploads/smil3dbd4d4e4c4f2.gif" alt="" />
