Titanic II to set sail in 2018

Well at least this one probably won't sink.
China is building a life-size replica of the doomed RMS Titanic in a landlocked county more than 1,200 kilometers (745 miles) from the sea.
When completed, the replica ship will measure 269 meters (882 ft) long by 28 meters (92 ft) wide and will feature reproductions of the original Titanic's features, including a ballroom, theater, swimming pool and rooms, according to Chinese state-run news agency Xinhua.
The total cost of the project is expected to run to around 1 billion yuan, or $145 million.
The Sichuan Titanic isn't the only recent attempt to recreate the sunken ocean liner.
Australian tycoon Clive Palmer aimed to launch a working replica of the ship, the Titanic II, this year, but the project had to be pushed back at least two years and Australia media reported that the company building it has stopped work.
