Clive Palmer's planned Titanic II

[Doug Criner]

There were legitimate, practical questions raised here, on this website, which were never answered - but there were cheers, too. My thinking is that is was a publicity stunt.

Hi Brad and Doug,

Clive Palmer? A publicity stunt? No, never! ;-)

Cheers,
Adam.

I knew it wont happen

Guys, I knew the whole Titanic II stuff seemed utter nonsense! Clive Palmer is the man with big plans, which scarcely come to realization....

New titanic?

are they really building a 2nd titanic ship? I think it would be kool but yet on the other hand i think it may be curresed from start to finish becaues of all the lifes that were lost and how tragic the whole shipwreck was....it will never be forgotten but it should remain a memorie and not copied for a second one.

 

[Doug Criner]

Such a project was announced several years ago. The ship was to have been built in China, but construction never started. There were several practical questions that were raised, some on this forum, but never addressed. I think this was a P.R. stunt timed to capitalize on the 100th anniversary of the sinking.

Reading up on it, I'd say the project has silently bit the dust. The last word on it was months ago and it was saying the project was years behind schedule and never got past the promotion phase. Given that, I'd say promoting the project was more important than actually doing it. It's just another live Jurassic Park for Palmer.

It's a shame. I would have gone on board.

Titanic II, an exact replica of the original ship, will set sail in 2018 - IrishCentral.com

 

[Alex Kiehl]

Wow! Is this really on the level?

 

[Alan James Gwinn]

Yahoo News reports today that Clive Palmer's Titanic 11 is expected to set sail in 2018. This is really good news because, as most climate change analysts know, by 2018 there will no longer be any icebergs around to sink her. Where can I book passage?

 

[Adam Went]

Now that his political career has somewhat faded from the spotlight, he might have more time to get this project back on track! Still, i'll believe it when I see it.

Cheers,
Adam.

So just to be clear, are you connected to Clive Palmer's project or are you enthusiasts?

 

[luminimattia]

I'm connecetd with Jason Ferrante, a man "near" Clive Palmer staff, I can't tell so much, you know, but really 2018 will be the year we are all waiting for

 

[Doug Criner]

Tell us when the keel is laid. Otherwise, spare us.

 

[Adam Went]

My thoughts exactly, Doug.

Cheers,
Adam.
