What date will Titanic 2 set sail? A century after the original sank to the bottom of the ocean, a new Titanic ship will set sail across the Atlantic Ocean. The replica is the passion project of Australian businessman and politician Clive Palmer and is expected to make its maiden voyage in 2022.
The project finances fell apart for several years. The ship delivery dates moved first to 2018 and then to 2022. Despite an abundance of announcements, CGI drawings, and videos, apparently, no steel has actually been cut and no new delivery date has been announced.
Titanic II will practically be the same size as the RMS Titanic, which means that unlike the original, this replica will not be the biggest cruise liner of its time. The aim of the project is to replicate the luxury experience of traveling on an early 20th century cruise liner.
Titanic II has captured the world's imagination since Professor Palmer announced that his shipping company, Blue Star Line, would recreate the famous ship in honour of the 100 year anniversary of the launch and untimely fate of The Titanic.
The new 56,000-GT ton ship will have 12 decks, 840 passenger staterooms and max capacity 2435 passengers plus 900 staff and crew. The maiden voyage of Titanic II is planned to leave not from Southampton to New York (like the original liner), but from Jiangsu China (north of Shanghai) to Dubai UAE.

While James Cameron will never make a sequel to Titanic, and Shane Van Dyke's Titanic II has nothing to do with the historic ocean liner, there are still plenty of movies about the H.M.S. Titanic for viewers who want more.
The ship sunk after it hit an iceberg. The collision damaged the ship and its watertight compartments. With a limited number of lifeboats, many passengers could not escape the ship. Only hours after the collision, the Titanic sunk, taking about 1,500 passengers with her.
Titanic 2, directed by Shane Van Dyke, is a separate disaster drama set 100 years after the tragedy of the Rms Titanic, with a similar-looking luxury cruise liner encountering another disaster due to global warming.
Exclusive rights to salvage items from the wreck were given to RMS Titanic Inc. (RMST) This is only the case for the United States, however. These laws have no bearing on citizens of other countries. Since no one owns the Titanic, people are free to recover items from the ship if they are able.
Could the iceberg that sank the Titanic still exist?
The average lifespan of an iceberg in the North Atlantic typically is two to three years from calving to melting. This means the iceberg that sank the Titanic "likely broke off from Greenland in 1910 or 1911, and was gone forever by the end of 1912 or sometime in 1913." Want next-level safety, ad-free?
The lookouts on the Titanic didn't see the Iceberg due to still weather conditions and a moonless night. The Titanic had two lookouts who were located in the crows nest, 29 meters about the deck, neither of which had binoculars.
Would the Titanic still be around if it hit the iceberg head-on?
Answer: There is no definitive answer, but it would probably have sunk anyway. When you hit an iceberg, the ship below the water will hit the iceberg before the ship above the water line, so it would divert it off its course – it's not like hitting a brick wall head-on.
It lies in two parts, with the bow and the stern separated by about 800m (2,600ft). A huge debris field surrounds the broken vessel. The scan was carried out in summer 2022 by Magellan Ltd, a deep-sea mapping company, and Atlantic Productions, who are making a documentary about the project.
As such, it is unlikely that the specific circumstances leading to the sinking of the Titanic will recur. But the ocean remains an unpredictable place, fraught with hazards.
The Titanic sank in 1912, and ever since people have wanted to salvage it. There are many reasons why the ship cannot be raised. Over 1,500 people died when it sank; it's considered a gravesite. The ship is also deteriorating.
A newly discovered species of rust-eating bacterium found on the ship has been named Halomonas titanicae, which has been found to cause rapid decay of the wreck. Henrietta Mann, who discovered the bacteria, has estimated that the Titanic will completely collapse possibly as soon as 2030.
