Resurrection of the legendary Titanic in 2018
(Baonghean.vn) - Humanity has never forgotten the historic Titanic sinking that took place more than a century ago. However, recently, billionaire Clive Palmer announced a project that was considered "crazy" when he built a ship identical to the Titanic - the ship that sank on April 15, 1912 in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
“Titanic was a dream ship. Titanic II will be the ship where dreams come true,” said Clive Palmer, an Australian mining magnate and politician.
And Mr. Clive is ready to do anything crazy to revive the legendary Titanic. The launching ceremony of Titanic II is scheduled for 2018.
Take a look back at the interior of Titanic II - a ship modeled exactly like the 1912 version by Australian tycoon Clive Palmer.

The only difference between the replica and the original is that the Titanic II will be equipped with navigation systems, radar and all the most advanced technology similar to a modern ship of the 21st century, along with advanced rescue vehicles.
The price for a first class cabin on the Titanic II is estimated to be around 90,000 USD. And the first journey of the Titanic II will start from Jiangsu, China to Dubai and the United Arab Emirates (UAE)./.
