Just Sharing This Titanic II Cruise Ship

Being Chinese-built, it probably won't hit an iceberg in the N. Atlantic - but, hopefully, one of those artificial islands (and more!:() that the Chinese have been/are building in the S. China sea. Sink or swim - maybe, but you will hopefully have champagne and caviar, instead of dry biscuits and water, to keep to you alive (relatively speaking, providing you don't die of a heart attack in the meantime!) whilst waiting for rescue vessels to arrive .:)

Yup, that sums it up if you choose to travel on ANYTHING called "TITANIC" (or its sister ship BRITANIC, which also sank!) :-rofl2

This ones unsinkable ;):D

That's EXACTLY what "they" (the builders) said about the Titanic (and so, the Britannic)! :D

NOTHING that floats is unsinkable, with the right "tools" (natural or manmade) - so I would suggest that you "reconsider" your comment/suggestion!;)

You builds your ships/planes/trains/cars and walk in the street and take your life/death chances:eek:

Safety specs of Titanic 11 :-


Comparison with the original RMS Titanic
The ship is designed to be as similar in internal and external appearance to the Titanic as possible. However, today's safety regulations and economic considerations dictated several major changes to the design, including:

  • Greater beam for enhanced stability[39][40]
  • Welded, not riveted, hull[39]
  • Reduced draught (draft)[39]
  • Bulbous bow for higher fuel efficiency, although moderately sized compared to ships of newer designs[39]


A preliminary comparison of the profiles of the Titanic (blue) and the Titanic II (red).
  • Stabilizers to reduce roll[39]
  • Diesel-electric propulsion system with four diesel generating sets providing power for three azimuth thrusters to replace the original coal-fired boilers, steam engines and steam turbine, as well as the rudder. Also, the ship would have had 2 bow thrusters.[39]
  • An additional "safety deck" between C and D decks for lifeboats and marine evacuation systems, with the boat deck housing replicas of the original lifeboats. Space for the deck was made by lowering decks D and below by 2.8 metres, and for the taller centre section of the safety deck, which would have housed the lifeboats, by raising the superstructure by 1.3 metres. In spite of the reduced draft, space was made for the lowered decks by removing the orlop deck, which mainly housed the boilers.[39]
  • New 'escape staircases' in addition to the original staircases, housed in the redundant boiler exhaust uptakes.[39]
  • Observation decks in the redundant first two funnels, which would have had, according to Deltamarin, tinted window coverings to blend in with the funnels' color, intended to be as close as possible to the original "White Star buff." [39]
  • No sheer or camber,[39] unlike the original. Pronounced sheer was a cosmetic feature of ocean liners, intended to add a graceful appearance to the ship, but made construction more difficult and therefore costly.[41] Renderings released in February 2013 showed an upwards rake added to C Deck at the bow and stern to give a superficial appearance of sheer, although an inauthentic wedge-shaped gap has had to be added between C and D decks in these areas to produce this effect.[42]
  • A higher bridge relative to the bow, as the superstructure has been raised by 1.3 metres by the centre section of the safety deck, and also by the removal of the sheer.[39] This negates the requirement on the original Titanic for lookouts.
  • An overall increase in the height of the ship above the waterline (due to the insertion of the safety deck). However, the total height of the ship from the keel to funnels would be the same as the original, at 175 ft.[43][not in citation given]
  • Video of water tank testing in 2013 indicate that the stern lines of Titanic II bears little resemblance to Titanic's 1912 era counter stern.[44]

Welded, not riveted, hull

Bit worrying if hull metal is of chinese manufacture:-ohcrap
 
'If "they " have the money, then "they" can afford the fare - and the cost of (hopefully!) being rescued from whichever country's national waters (if any!) they happen to be at the time when it "all goes t*tsup". "You pays your money and you takes your choice" - but I would not because I don't see any excuse to spend that sort of cash at my time of life :) on something that will be transitory to say the least (unless you happen die of "conspicuous consumption" before the "accident-waiting-to-happen" actually does!:))
 
With a name like Titanic, it'll sink, cos that's what Titanics do... :-rofl2

Now it it was named Enterprise, it'd last for 50+ years, if it wasn't built by the chinese of course... :-doh
 
The Titanic was the victim of bad driving and the Britannic hit a mine. Seems like it wasn't the fault of either ship to me
 
Like the sign at Harland and Wolfe shipbuilders says ' It was all right when it left here'!
 
The sloppy film version is on Film4 channel tonight

Today 9pm - 12:45am Film4Uk time:eek:

"" There are two love stories here: one is between James Cameron and a ship; the other is between society girl Kate Winslet and third-class passenger Leonardo DiCaprio. ""

I agree with the first sentence - but not really the second because they were actually badly designed so that when a really large amount of water came in, it overflowed the internal "watertight" bulkheads because they did not extend to the full height that they should have. That is not bad driving, but a design fault, although I do agree that bad driving was the ultimate cause of the sinkings.
