  4. Technically, the name should be "Gigantic", as this is the name that was not used from the original triumvirate because the third sister was named "Britannic" after the desaster, in a weak attempt to show at least a little bit of modesty after Whitestar's and Ismay's megalomania just had killed 1500 people. But actually, the only fitting name would be Olympic II, as this ship was the only one of the three that had a lucky career. Also, practically ALL imagery, footage, and plans that exist today are not from the very short-lived Titanic but from the Olympic. But of course, this is about the narcissistic wet dreams of a mad billionaire, so Titanic be it.

    Aside from the fact that a ship of that small size would hardly be able to compete in todays cruise business, with those orange life boats hanging on its side, it would need a lot of imagination to get the right feeling. Also, they would be a stark reminder as to WHY that ship's name is so (in)famous and the only surviving sister's is not. How long would the thrill be enough to draw enough attention to keep this business model above the seas?

  5. Better have a multi national flotilla of Coast Guard rescue vessels following it on it's maiden voyage, just in case.

  8. Facing Putin’s unlimited re-election, dictatorship! We don’t know why you have to reach a tacit agreement? cover up! Did you receive an order from Xi Jinping! How powerful is Xi Jinping’s order? Let me tell you this, Xi Jinping’s order is not just to make China 14 Billions of people are silent! Even 70 billion people around the world are silent!

  13. Find the Olympic. Oh wait, it's at the bottom of the ocean.
    Titanic never sank.
    Insurance fraud and murder of rival bankers.
