Who has revealed plans to launch Titanic II?
Have you heard about the Titanic? It's a famous old ship that sailed over a hundred years ago. Sadly, it hit an iceberg on its first trip and sank in 1912. There were about 2,200 people on board, but only around 700 survived.
Now, an Australian billionaire, Clive Palmer, plans to build and launch the Titanic II, a replica of the original. He recently talked about it in Sydney, Australia. His company, Blue Star Line, plans to make the Titanic II and sail it in 2027. It will go from England to New York, the route of the first Titanic.
Can you tell me more about Titanic II?
The new ship will cost a lot to build. It will have a similar class division as the original Titanic (first, second, and third class), so people can experience what the original ship was like.
For example, people in the third class will eat the same food as on the old Titanic, like stew and mash. However, other foods will be offered to those who wish to have a less realistic experience. Passengers can even dress like it was done in the 1900s. Cool, right?
The ship will have nine floors and 835 rooms. Inside, it will look like the old Titanic, with a big staircase, fancy dining rooms, and old-timey decorations. It will make people feel like they're in the past.
The ship will have old stuff from the 1900s, but it will also have modern things like air conditioning. The plans for this ship sound exciting. However, the announcement has created an argument.
What argument has been created due to the announcement?
The Titanic II project has made people everywhere argue about whether it's okay to build a new ship like the old one that had a sad accident. Some say it's a good way to remember the first Titanic, but others think it's not respectful to those who lost their lives.
