TITANIC VERSION II SET TO SAIL BY 2016. 16 TICKETS BOOKED SO FAR
______________________________________________________________________________________________

Yesterday at The Ritz hotel in London, the Professor Clive Palmer show rolled into town. And what a show.

He is still relatively unknown in this country, but surely not for long. For Prof Palmer is the Australian businessman who is going to bring back the Titanic... or at least a modern-day replica of it.

Unveiling his plans for Titanic II, the ebullient mining magnate insisted the new ship will set sail in 2016, and dismissed his doubters with a single word.

T[b]here will not be televisions or state-of-the-art music systems on board, nor internet connections or mobile phones. But every passenger will find period costumes in their cabin wardrobe so that they can enjoy ‘a true 1912 experience’.[/b]

However, the plans include a safety deck (with more lifeboats obviously), a new high-tech engine, air-conditioning and service lifts.

As with the original ship, there will be First, Second and Third Class cabins and passengers will not be allowed to mingle – apart from on the safety deck, where there will be a casino and theatre.


Clive Palmer, who made his money in iron ore, is determined to get the project up and running as soon as possible

And at 883ft, Titanic II will be three inches longer than its predecessor to accommodate an additional area at the bow where passengers will be able to recreate the iconic ‘Jack and Rose pose’ made famous by actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in James Cameron’s 1997 Oscar-winning movie.

His net worth is the subject of much debate. Business Review Weekly rates Palmer as Australia’s fifth-richest person with assets of $5 billion (about £3.5 billion) while Forbes estimates his wealth at a relatively paltry $895 million (£600 million).

Palmer contends he is far wealthier than even the BRW estimate. He refuses to say how much Titanic II will cost to build, although experts believe it will between £260 million and £400 million.

While the original was built in Belfast, this ship will be constructed in a Chinese yard, and the voyage could become a financial bonanza for Palmer.

But he says: ‘My motivation wasn’t to make a lot of money but was actually to deliver the ship. Now something which wasn’t primarily aimed in my mind as a great business transaction may well become one

Passengers will be able to buy a six-day ticket for one class, or a mixed ticket covering two days in each section. Prices have not been set yet although Palmer says he has already had offers from 16 people of between £500,000 and £850,000 for berths.

Clive Palmer (born 26 March 1954) is a businessman from Queensland, Australia, most widely known as owner of Mineralogy and for his investments in other natural resource companies. As of January 2012, his net worth was estimated by Forbes magazine to be US$795 million.

He owned Gold Coast United FC from 2008 to 2012

Clive Palmer was born in Victoria and lived in Perry Street, Williamstown, where his father had a private movie theatre and used to invite his neighbours to watch the latest movies. He now lives on the Sovereign Islands on the Gold Coast, Queensland.

He has married his wife, Anna, in December 2007 and has three children: son, Michael George, daughter, Emily Susan and daughter, Mary Jean.

In February 2013, at a press conference in New York, Palmer announced plans to build a modern-day replica of the cruise liner RMS Titanic. It is planned that Titanic II will be built in China and will make its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York in 2016. The Titanic II will be 883 feet long and weigh 55,800 gross tons, according to Palmer. Built in China, it will carry 2,435 passengers and 900 crew. The Titanic II will honor the memories of those who died and survived on the Titanic, Palmer said. The Titanic was operated by the White Star Line, and Palmer’s cruise company is called Blue Star Line. Like the original ship, there will be no TVs aboard and probably no Internet service, he says.

As long as it is not named Titanic, it'll be cool. There's a thread on FP about coincidences, I don't want another titan-ish coincidence
