NEW YORK (AFP) - Flamboyant Australian tycoon Clive Palmer unveiled his plan on Tuesday for building a perfect replica of the Titanic - plus a lot of extra lifeboats.
More than a century after the original, supposedly unsinkable ocean liner hit an iceberg and went down in the North Atlantic, Mr Palmer thinks the time has come to complete the unfinished journey to New York.
"The Titanic was the ship of dreams. Titanic II is the ship where dreams will come true," Mr Palmer said in New York at the project's official launch.
Featuring the same rigid divisions as in 1912 between first, second and third class, passengers will eat either in an ornate dining room or at a long common table. "There'll be no mingling" between classes, Mr Palmer said.
=> sounds like Dr B :p
