Apparently a full scale replica in literally every detail other than it will have enough lifeboats is about to be built and will sail from Ocean Village (this is the Echo who havent looked at whether Ocean Village's dock is big enough to get it in given all the yachts in there) or thereabouts in 2027.
If it happens it should put Southampton on the World stage

I'm against this and who on earth would want to go on it anyway? I'm assuming the money grabbers who want to make a few bob out of this have done their research and believe it is a money maker, but I think it's all in bad taste
Southampton lost over 700 or so residents in this catastrophe and there are still relatives of the deceased living here
Bad taste |  |

I very much doubt if it'll have two four cylinder reciprocating expansion steam engines and a one LP steam turbine.
More likely diesel propulsion. |  | | |

Or side thrusters at the bow and stern to aid berthing and manouvering etc that nearly all new liners (cruise ships) now have | |

The rest of history podcasts on the Titanic are well worth listening to. Tells the story of the ship and links to Southampton. I think 4 episodes.
As for look outs there were two but they had bad luck. It was a crystal clear night. No swell or clouds making it virtually impossible to see the iceberg before it was too late. Also had they followed protocol and hit it head on then it wouldn’t have sunk. Trying to swerve meant it acted like to giant tin opener opening up the side of the ship giving it no chance of survival. |  |

I believe it's due to set sail on her maiden voyage in 2030.
No worries as by 2030, there won't be any icebergs left to sink her... |  |

In all seriousness, my Dad and Grandad wouldn't watch any film version or entertainment about the Titanic because of the number of Southampton working class families who lost loved ones who were part of the crew and staff on the ship, never valued or properly recompensed. | | | |

Also , if you observe and trust these little nuances in Hollywood blockbusters, a helmsman who knows the difference between the commands ‘hard a port’ and ‘hard a starboard’, would have been useful. | | | |

I hated the way they were portrayed by Director Cameron, shit film!
The whole idea of this proposal makes me sick. | | | |
