Check out this site:http://www.angelfire.com/ma/ThomasAndrewLine/ (http://www.angelfire.com/ma/ThomasAndrewLine/)
This company, Thomas Andrews Trans-Atlantic Lines, has a plan that I'm sure many of us would like to see completed:
In honor of the roughly 1,500 people who lost their lives on the RMS Titanic, TAT-AL hopes to build an almost exact replica of the great liner, which "will serve as a living Monument and Memorial to those who died." In order to make this ship as close to the real thing as possible, but still have today's technology, they will hide and disguise today's things into it, so as to make it look as similar to the real ship as possible. Examples from the site include:
Hiding the sonar equipment in the farthest foreward section of the bow
Hiding the radar equipment in the crows nest
Disguising the radio to look like the Marconni telegraph system
The maiden voyage is set for April 10, 2012, 100 years after the Titanic left Southampton
On April 15, 2012 at 2:00 AM, there will be a memorial service as the ship passes over where the Titanic sank.
After her maiden voyage, she will continue to run trans-Atlantic runs between Southampton and New York.
Every detail of the ship will be recreated. Imagine walking up the Grand Staircase! Exercise in the gym or swim in the pool!
The ship will have around 900 crew members, same as the real thing! Due to the lifeboat capacity, however, the ship will only have 900 passengers, too.
The ship will be a coal powered steamship, just like the original!
The estimated ticket prices are cheap! $1,000 for 3rd class, $2,000 for 2nd class, and $4,000 for 1st class.
The ship's name will be "Titanic" as the owner veiws naming it anything else would be disrespectful towards those who lost their lives.
From what I understand, though, even though they already have the launch day set and everything, they're a bit short on cash. Dont these sorts of companies get mony based on how many people visit their site? If that's the case, we can help these guys out!
This idea is amazing! I hope thet get the money needed and that H&W help them out! Best of luck, guys!

Any comments?
-
It looks pretty cool to me...hope it actually happens
Dan

Wow :o, this is amazing, you know i always had a dream once since the first time i saw the movie "Titanic", my dream is to sail on the RMS Titanic once more.And now It will come true.Since i live all the way in New Zealand, i better start saving up for a second class ticket.THIS IS GOING TO BE SO GREAT! ;D, I must go on this, must.
-
I had a similar dream, Third Mate!
Keep in mind: they are in a bit of a financial problem
What I do: Everytime I visit the site, I refresh once or twice, just to increase the hit count, so they get more money for more visits! Also, if it's close to a ten in terms of visit number, sometimes I'll refresh until it hits reach xxxxx0!
It turns out the organization hopes to be regestered as a company in may, which is also when they plan to go from the research phase to the planning phase!
Best of luck to those guys. This is better than sailing on the Ship Sim Titanic!
I hope the ship gets Royal Mail Steamer as a ship prefix! ;D
-
I emailed the guys, recommending this book:
(http://images.barnesandnoble.com/images/20180000/20184724.JPG)
"RMS Titanic: A Modelmaker's Manual" by Peter Davies-Garner
While I was at it, I wished them the best of luck in their work, and in trying to get people to ride on a trans-Atlantic ocean liner called "Titanic", lol
-
I just hope that they will actually do it. There have been many promises that we have all been given of a new olympic class liner to be built to bear the name of Titanic just like the counterpart. But all of them have failed and have failed misrabelly. I just hope that this one will actually be a successful plan this time or I will lose any hope or faith of people doing it and perhapes start thinking of the in's and outs to me trying my own hand at the very least to say. I do intend on being a success but I will watch this one very closley.
RMS Gigantic there is a set of plans from the TMRA site as well that you can also recomend. With you recomending that book I think you have some kudo's due to be picked up by you so go and get them. :P

To be honest with you guys, i don't think that there will ever be a second Titanic, in my way of thinking it is actually disrespectful to the people who died on Titanic as its almost like trying to replace Titanic in that sence. I also think that this company dosen't care about a memorial etc. but money. As they say "money makes the world go round" if they ever do make another Titanic i'll have mixed feelings about it to be honest, and i think many other people will also have mixed feelings to, that is my opinion, although it would be nice to see it again.
Kind Regards
Jack.

I have noticed some of the details in the second site are actually different than what is stated above by RMS Gigantic, does that mean this is a new project?
-
It would be AWESOME. That they build the "TITANIC". But I don't think that it will happen.
We should see. I cannot wait to see her in full glorie. ;D
-
Well I don't want to be negative but:
There is a company that want's to rebuilt the Titanic. They are not willing or able to register an own domain in the internet, but uses Angelfire.com, a free webhoster. The page is very basic, in my eyes.
The email contact is going to @yahoo.com
How well organized can this company be?
I think I don't want to book a ticket on their ship, even they were able to build it.
-
http://www.put.com/gigantic/ (http://www.put.com/gigantic/)
I found that site trying to get info on this rumored "Titanic II", and this is one of only a few that had its own website AND is still around! Looks like "Titanic II" will be "Titanic"!
-
How well organized can this company be?
Actually, they aren't a company yet! The organization hopes to be registered as a company in May, when the research stage will end, and planning begins!
But remember: the organization isn't doing to well financially. I say we help 'em out by raising the hit count on that site!
-

Look on that site for the organization's name: Thomas Andrews Trans-Atlantic Line. I got some of my info there, but the rest is from their site!
-
Company or Organization, does that make really such big of a difference? My 14 year old son could make a better homepage then this one.
Let's get real people, how much trust can I put in an organization, that can't get the Internet portal in an appropriate state. They want get a ship built and can't get the simplest things well organized.
If you had to spend a million $ would you give it to a organization with this bad look? I wouldn't trust them as far as I can look.
-
That is a very bad site for starters, i have been studying webpage making etc. recently and as far as look, layout etc. this looks very cheap and it wouldn't suprise me in the least if this is some sort of scam to get money and run off with it.

P.S. wouldn't you have though that this would have been global news headlines if this was actually true?
-
LOL! Dream away... dream away! :D ;D ;D
Sorry guys but these got to get themselves a decent website before a crazy investor even believe in the idea :P ;D
"Come together folks and let's build Titanic of planks and wood" :D :D
Yeah I know some takes this very serious but this was the must funniest topic of this month posted here ;) It should almost get it's own reward ;D
-
"The maiden voyage is set for April 10, 2012, 100 years after the Titanic left Southampton"
shurely she is under construction, why arn't there any pictures!
-
Because they're still only in the research stage. They plan on moving to the planning stage in May, when they hope to be registered as a company, that's why, Paddy134! They have the backing of the "Raise The Titanic Foundation," after they lost hope of floating the nearly century old ship.

So's Google!

"The maiden voyage is set for April 10, 2012, 100 years after the Titanic left Southampton"

As it turns out, 2008 would be much too early!
Construction on Titanic construction began on March 31st, 1909, with the hull launced on the same day 2 years later, and the outfitting completed one year later to the date. If these guys do the same schedule, construction won't start for another year!
-
I'm not saying its not true, but I'm a little skeptical. But if it is true, and they keep at this schedule, they may not launch for 5-6 years, considering the things that have to be done if she is going to be steam powered with coal. I'm not sure too many people would want the job as the coal loaders in the boiler rooms. And they may have to change the layout because if you were to sail 3rd class, you won't be to happy with your accomadations(no shower in the room, 4 small beds, tight quarters etc). I'm just offering my view is all, no need to take offense and anybody does take offense I apologize. It would just be tough to build the ship to the exact specifications as the original.
Kind Regards,
Dan
-
So's Google!
No Google isn't a bad site, its worth millions. You have been conned into actually believeing that they are going to make another Titanic, its never going to happen. I agree with Paddy on this one. No pictures, not on the news, bad site. Nope, wouldn't trust it in a million years.

I mean Google is just is, if not, MORE plain than this site! It was started as a sort of college experiment about search engines, though the team knew little on HTML!

(1)how would they run off with money if they aren't GETTING money from us?
(2)Titanic news seems to be lower key than celebrity gossip in this society. It isn't 'global news headlines' when a Titanic annaversary goes by...

its the best search engine around! Google has even become a word now :D like "google it" it may be plain but i tell you, its a work of art as far as search engines go.

Asking for funds.....

NONE of the Titanic replicas are in the news! Ever hear of the rest of these?: http://www.put.com/gigantic/ (http://www.put.com/gigantic/)
Also, if you don't like the site, just be glad there IS a site! The wide majority of the other projects either took their sites down, had their sites lost, or never even HAD a site in the first place! Also, many of the other projects failed to meet deadlines. To me, this one looks the most promising!
-
Scale models are limited by size of details, virtual models, by amount of details, but a life-size replica of the ship? No limit what so ever!
-
All i'm saying is i certainly wouldn't get your hopes up about another Titanic.
-
RMS Gigantic: I have a question for you. How old are you?
I mean, you have to be really very, VERY naïve to beleive this.
No offence, mate, but untill now, you are the only one who beleives this stuff.
If this would be treu, surely it would hit the news world-wide!
I mean, the have NO money what so ever. Surely they won't raise a certain amount, in time, to just start this project, let alone, build the ship. Not before 2012 anyway. If they wan't to start planning, they need cash.
If they wan't to register as a company, they can simply do so, not just HOPING to get registered. :-\
A nice idea is one thing, a SERIOUS nice idea is something totally different.
Please wake up, RMS Gigantic, this will not happen. There won't be a 2nd Titanic.

Thats exactly right, i was going to say that in the detail you have gave it, i already covered the bit about it being on the news etc. but i thought i better not go into detail incase an argument broke out, just go further back in the comments you will see what i have said, but everything you said there is right and that is exactly what i have been thinking, look RMS Gigantic its not going to happen like Eemspoort said, you are the only person who is actually believing this, its not going to happen now and it never will.
-
I never said they 100% will, as financing could be a probmlem, seeing as they have their goal set on this year....
I was just hoping beyond hope that they may.... I would love to see the object of my idolatry live again.... The idea saddens me that she will never sail again.
(Aw, great, now I'm teary eyed :'()
-
Well, I'll keep raising that hit count, anyway, as I'd hate it if I was trying to make an honest effort at something like this, but people wouldn't trust me just because my website wasn't flashy! Or just because my low-key project wasn't the first page headline of every newspaper all over the world!

Acualy the money is not a problem at all, Bill Gates is one of the most richest man in the world, he has 53 BILLION DOLLARS.All they have to i'd just talk to him about the idea and convince him to help, and the money is taken care of.Simple eh.... ;)

Thanks for that TJK, she looks spectacular :D, oh that reminds me Found 2 more missing items. Deck chairs around the ship(mainly first and second class) The notice board at the back.Also the windows that are in black(only the ones above the black superstructure), they meant to be reflective like the other ships.Hahaha, gotcha again ;).
-
No, Third Mate. Companies don't just give money. When they do, they always want to be payed back, with interest!

Remember where i said earlier about "getting money from people and running away with it" thats exactly it. You don't know whats going to happen to that money and once its gone its gone! and you can't do anything about it simply because you gave the money to them and then your out of pocket for no reason, its very simple to pull a scam like that, its happened many times over the years.

They aren't ASKING for OUR money! All I'm doing is repeatedly visiting the site! Where in there am I paying them my own money?

That above is my point

That above is my point
Hawed someone heard about the poor uncle sister brother president osw need money for get free in Nigeria send money to them for getting free and you for twice so mutts back ;D ;D ;D ::)
-
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.
-
It's just a scam
What solid evidence do you have of 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!

That says well all, now one has gone to this scam then, have you prove at this as for real?
This was post 54 of this meaningless thing.
Titanic is gone for ewer and it will not be a new one, they had a plan for about 30 years ago to build Titanic 2 seek on BBC's website their you will find some about that project.

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
-
That's now prove it's real and how mutes money do you think this will cost?
Sorry i don't believe it and for me there are only one Titanic :'( sad she lyes on the sea floor sad but that's the trot :'( :'( So if it will be a Titanic2 it's Will never be R.M.S Titenic :'( Just a sadly copy

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....
-
oops! got their months mixed up! Rereading the info reveals that they plan to be fully into the research phase in May, and registered as a company/start the planning stage in October....
-
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.

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).

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).

I highly doubt the probability of a "Titanic" replica being built. I mean, many anti-pollution laws would STRONGLY prohibit any coal powered ships (all that smoke that goes in the air, all the Greenpeace guys would go CRAZY ). Not only that, but let's think about this for a second : What major company would spend houndreds of millions of dollars(or whatever the price wich would be extremely large) on a ship that wouldn't make a profit as large as the expense itself.
A small company doesen't have the slightest chance of gathering the money, the human resources, operational planning and that petty website isn't going to atract anyone's attention, a website is extremely important since it is one of the most powerful types of comercials of today (anyone who studies marketing should know this), if a company doesen't have a strong image than no one will even bother make a large scale investment on such a large project.
And even so let's be honest, how many people will want to sail on a ship that already sank ? I know the movie Titanic made a lot of fans but how many would be willing to go on it with the thought "God I hope this won't end like the last one". Who would man the coal furnaces ? There are many ships that are larger and more luxurious therefore the "Titanic" replica would only have a few voyages before going bankrupt.

Count me in mate, blahhh.... laws these days, this is Titanic were talking about, no law should stop her no matter how much coal she has or what ever system of movement it has in my book that ship has all the freedom in the world...after they build the ship us die-hard fans will make sure she has smooth sailing.What can i say Titanic is a really has really captured my attention from the moment i first saw the movie theres no explanation all i have of the ship is a model, some soundtracks and a briefcase full of pictures of the ship and everything that has to do with Titanic .Oh yeah nice English fluency mate"andrei" i use to live in Romania to but, moved to NZ for more of a smoother sailing though out life.Once again I'm with the idea of the ship being built.

I, too have but several models (okay, maybe it's just a sinking one, a book on how to make the most detailed model in the world, and the ss06 one, but still), a Titanic dvd (Titanic's Final Moments: Missing Pieces), and several pictures (in the previously mentioned book), and I WANT HER TO LIVE AGAIN! (so what if I don't have a lot of Titanic stuff? I'm 15! I want this 18ft model from the book built and an RC model, too! ;D oh, and the ss08 one, and any ship sim later ;))
Oh, and also, I signed up for the Encyclopedia Titanica Message Boards.... I hope the acceptance email came....

Oh good Lord.... :o thats alot... looks like you can just about have a museum over there :D

I've visited the Titanic Museum in Branson Missouri on Spring Break, where I saw a copy of the model and picked up the book (along with this really cool SOS shirt that, coincidentally, I'm wearing right now)!
Oh, and my neigbor is a carpender, and said he would like to help in the model's creation!
This is what it should look like when it's done:

Man thats good, too bad there are no Titanic museums all the way here or anything like that :(, consider yourself lucky :D, but im still living.Again the waterline should have that color more likely, can hardly tell the difference if that ship even has a water line.

Wow :o, this is amazing, you know i always had a dream once since the first time i saw the movie "Titanic", my dream is to sail on the RMS Titanic once more.And now It will come true.Since i live all the way in New Zealand, i better start saving up for a second class ticket.THIS IS GOING TO BE SO GREAT! ;D, I must go on this, must.
why second class? what if they don't sort by class? but if they do, how about first?

Then you don't get the bow and stern... but still more than 2nd class!
Crew would be best: They got all the most scenic areas! ;D ... for some odd reason ???
