Australian billionaire Clive Palmer to build Titanic II. Mr Palmer says the Titanic replica will be a tribute to the men and women who built the original ship

Clive Palmer, one of Australia's richest men, has commissioned a Chinese state-owned company to build a 21st Century version of the Titanic.
The mining billionaire told Australian media that construction will start at the end of next year.
It would be ready to set sail in 2016.
The plan, he added, is for the vessel to be as similar as possible to the original Titanic in design and specifications, but with modern technology.
Mr Palmer told Australian media that he had signed a memorandum of understanding with CSC Jinling Shipyard to construct the ship.

So he's not building a replica - otherwise the damned thing would be liable to sink and the captain would run from the first sight of any iceberg!

He's building a ship and using the Titanic's name to gain a lot of free publicity. That's clever.
