Jim & Chris, you should do a follow up on Australian Clive Palmers Titanic 2 Replica
I am sure there are things the Panel Could Talk about with some local Titanic Fans
Like Brian Reeve of the Brentwood Hotel Wellington (you had him on before? )
I had a Thought that Clive has no need to spend 400 Million to Make a modern Chinese Replica when a Liner of similar Dimensions exists today in need of a new Life
The 47,300 ton SS United States would take a brilliant Edwardian Refit though it is now some 60 years old it is tied up and gutted since it had all its asbestos removed
She could be Towed to Harland and Wolf and refitted there (they no longer build Ships)
Yes a retro Bow and Stern would be in Order with a few Dummy Smoke stacks but Clive could have the RMS United States up and running for a bargain price
And she could run Titanic Cruises that would also take in the American Maritime Heritage aspect.. Without the spooky name!
A true Transatlantic ship and a Blue Ribband Holder that would be full 16 knots faster, you could be well gone by the time any Icebergs come by!
