That above is my point
The organization needs some financial help, and their goal is set on this year.

We aren't sending them our money.

Your right, we will not send them money. Therefore, they will never raise any money. So this project stranded before it even started. Wich is a good thing. Because if this project would take a start, then somebody will be very happy to go on a looooong vacation with other peoples money.  :-\

And IrishJack, i know what you said, i read the whole thread. ;) I just wanted to strongen your points.

Let it be, Gigantic, it's a worthless project. In fact, it isn't a project at all. It's just a scam, or at the best, a nice dream that will never come out.
Only serious big company's could start a project like this.

Here's a thought: if this thing was known to truely be a scam, wouldn't the government have shut this thing down by now? The site's been up for a number of years!

I don't see this as a scam, because I can see how a project by a company that no one's ever heard of wouldn't make "global news headlines". I can also see how an unpopular company wouldn't have the flashiest or most popular website in the world.

The following criteria do NOT make a scam:
not popular
not a flashy site
not being "global headlines" (may I remind you this project is still in the research stage)

The following criteria is where it's safe to presume something is a scam:
asking for YOUR money directly out of YOUR wallet
saying you get something free for giving money

I can't bear the idea that Titanic will never be seen in her former greatness.... :'(

This is the closest we'll ever get to seeing her.... :'(

Just drop by the site (the one in my frst post) once in a while, and time will show if this is real....

I dont mean to depress anyone. But... I dont think anything like this will ever happen. Reasons are below

1. Hull is not modern. Without the bulbus ( Im sure I spelled it rong.) it will have greater resistance to water.

2. As I said above the desigen is not areodinamic and will resist the wind. Increase drag.

3. If no one has noticed. Ships are not built with coal fired boilers anymore. so coal power is out of the question and would probably make the ships company pay fines for polution. (It would have to run off disiel fuel)

4. Sorry to tell you but the cost probably out weigh the profit. There are ships that are faster, bigger and to some people (not all) more luxturious. <- cant remember how to spell the word.

Who said anything about Titanic 2? I'm talking about Titanic here! The replica's name will be Titanic, with an almost identical design! (the exception is the stuff that is manditory today, but that will be hidden or disguised, leaving a look identical to the original!)

Here are some facts about
Thomas Andrews Trans-Atlantic Line
Who?
Josh Behn,president,Ben Fields, http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=12145457
and others
What?
"full sized,near exact replica" (called Titanic)
When?
Centennial in April 2012
Website?
Yes
What For?
Transatlantic crossings and historical cruises
"Every voyage would be a historical recreation of life on Titanic...minus the iceberg and sinking"
Comments
Of all the proposals,the most determined to replicate the original as closely as possible...down to the 1st/2nd/3rd class accomodations and menus and keeping all modernized elements camouflaged out of sight. Behn wants to avoid any structural or visible difference from the 1912 original wherever possible.
Coal powered,for a while had number of passengers clipped to 900 to minimize increase in lifeboat capacity.Crew 900 also.

Has sent inquiry to Harland & Wolff and implies future of project may hinge on response.H&W wants to see financing,he is looking for backers.

Despite long lead time,in 1998 was taking reservations for 2012 voyage. Estimated ticket prices astoundingly cheap,$1000 3rd/$2000 2nd/$4000 1st,now retracted in favor of "all under $10,000".

Associated with the Raise The Titanic Foundation which recently abandoned hope of refloating the original and closed its website.

Announced in late December 1998 that they would "open the company's doors in mid-2001"...not moving 2012 target date,but they are currently without financing and will suspend seeking it until Behn has more time on his hands.Reservation-taking was also suspended.

In February 2001 announced,"returning as we said we would... essentially starting from scratch...".Intending this time to do "research",making no public announcements until funding has been secured in response to a prospectus based on the research,and a SOLAS-compliant design.Financing and arrangements targeted for 2008, and sailing remaining set for 2012 centennial.

Formerly used names White Star Line Inc., Trans Atlantic Inc.
Based in Massachusetts and in Utah(Behn,from Brockton,is a BYU student).

Hiya all :)

I'd like to point something out here if I may.  Forum members are from many different Countries, and not all have English as a first language.  A little more understanding towards your fellow members isn't that difficult :)
