The tragic romance of Jack and Rose may have ended after Titanic submerged into the sea, but the memories of the most infamous shipwreck in the history continues to live on as the Titanic II is about to set off in four years’ time.
In a recent report by WYFF, the Titanic II—a replica of the original—is making a voyage from Dubai to New York in 2022, following the original route of Titanic in 1912.
Australian company Blue Star Line will spearhead the replication of the Titanic, as revealed earlier in 2012. In recent news, the company is spending over half a billion dollars to make the replica perfectly look like the original—from its interiors, exterior, all the way to its original dinner menus.
Here’s what the original Titanic looked like, before sinking in 1912 that killed more than 1,500 people, versus the Titanic II’s proposed look:
