Australian billionaire Clive Palmer announced that he is building Titanic II in 2012. It’ll be the flagship of Palmer’s cruise company, Blue Star Line.

They’ll launch the Titanic II in 2016 and set sail from Southampton to New York the same year. Titanic expert, Steve Hall, is the Design Consultant and Historian on the project. Titanic interior expert, Daniel Klistorner, is working as the Interior Design Consultant and Historian.

They are working together to make the Titanic II as historically accurate as possible. They claim that the Titanic II will be 96 percent accurate to the original cruise ship. Some of the interior cannot be completely accurate, because fire code laws are stricter and don’t allow for wood paneling. Veneer finish will take it’s place.

The structure of the boat will also be changed in minor ways to make it safer. There will be more sophisticated technology on the ship.
