Its development has been ongoing for 6 years, more than what was necessary to build the Titanic. The replica has so far required an investment of US$ 155 million and the use of 23,000 tons of steel.

The new Titanic will not sail the seas but will be a theme park aimed at reviving the experience of boarding this historical ocean liner. For this, the team has placed special emphasis on details, as everything will be a perfect copy of the original, from doorknobs to luxury rooms and the dining room. To avoid inaccuracies, specialists and historians will validate the final result.

“It’s a complicated project”, says Su Shaojun, the main investor in the project, who decided to fund the work to preserve the memories of the cruise. “I hope this ship will be here in 100 or 200 years”, he added.

However, the new Titanic will not be the only attraction of the park, as it will recreate the old port of Southampton, in the United Kingdom, from where it sailed to New York on April 10, 1912, four days before sinking in the Atlantic Ocean.

The History Of The Titanic, The Luxury Ship Labeled As “The Unsinkable”

The Titanic Sailed On Its Maiden Voyage From Southampton, England, To New York On April 10, 1912. At The Time, It Was The Largest Passenger Ship Afloat.

On April 14, Around Midnight, It Struck An Iceberg And Sank In Less Than Three Hours. According To The U.S. Senate Report On The Titanic Disaster, 1,517 People Died And 706 People, Of The 2,223 Passengers And Crew Members, Survived.

In 1985, Scientists Led By American Robert Ballard And Frenchman Jean Jarry Located The Wreck About 563 Km Off The Southeast Coast Of Newfoundland, Canada. The Following Year, Ballard And His Crew Used A Deep-Sea Research Submersible To Explore The Sunken Ship For The First Time.
