Here’s an unexpected way to show your appreciation for history: in two years’ time, you might be able to take a cruise on an exact replica of the Titanic—a ship called, well, Titanic II.

The brainchild of Australian billionaire Clive Palmer, the ship was initially meant to be completed this year, but was delayed. Palmer has confirmed that he is still committed to the project, with a maiden voyage set for 2018. (Hopefully, unlike the original, there will be many more voyages after that.)

The ship will have practically the same dimensions of the original Titanic, which would be on the smaller side of modern cruise ships. (Shrewdly, it will have more lifeboat capacity than the original—2,700 places versus the original 1,187.)   More ---->
