jones_supa writes "Queensland billionaire mining magnate Clive Palmer has unveiled his plans to build the original RMS Titanic again. The rebuild will be a tribute to the spirit of the men and women who constructed the original ship. It will be every bit as luxurious as the original Titanic but it will have 'state-of-the-art 21st-century technology and the latest navigation and safety systems'. A historical research team was involved in the design of the Titanic II, which would have the same dimensions as its predecessor, with 840 rooms and 9 decks. The biggest differences could be found behind the scenes, and would include a bulbous bow for greater fuel efficiency and diesel generation, and an enlarged rudder and bow thrusters for improved maneuverability. Also, the ship would run on diesel rather than coal power. The ship's maiden voyage from England to North America is scheduled for late 2016. Asked if the Titanic II would sink, Palmer wisecracked: 'Of course it will sink if you put a hole in it.'"
