The legendary Titanic was resurrected in 2018.
(Baonghean.vn) - Humanity has never forgotten the historic Titanic shipwreck that occurred more than a century ago. Yet, recently, billionaire Clive Palmer announced a project considered "crazy": to rebuild a ship exactly like the Titanic - the ship that sank on April 15, 1912, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
Clive Palmer, an Australian mining magnate and politician, said, "The Titanic was once a dream ship. Titanic II will be the ship where that dream will become a reality."
And Clive will be willing to do anything crazy to revive the legendary Titanic. The launch of Titanic II is scheduled for 2018.
Let's take a look back at the interior of Titanic II - a ship modeled exactly after the 1912 version owned by Australian tycoon Clive Palmer.

The only difference between the replica and the original is that Titanic II will be equipped with a navigation system, radar, and all the most advanced technologies similar to a modern 21st-century ship, along with state-of-the-art rescue and salvage equipment.
The price for a first-class cabin on the Titanic II is estimated at around $90,000. The Titanic II's maiden voyage will begin in Jiangsu, China, and continue to Dubai and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
