I find the story of RMS Titanic to be one of the most boring in the world.

 

I find the story of the RRS Discovery much more interesting

 

 

It was built, and remains in, my hometown Dundee. It carried Captain Scott and his crew to antarctica for the Discovery Expedition in 1901.

 

Titanic was just leisure ship that sank.

 

I'm curious as to why you even posted here if you don't care about the Titanic.

 

LOL I think I've seen that before.

Why not?

Why not?

 

What you posted isn't even relevant. If you want to share this information, I'd be glad to read a thread about it. I'm fascinated by old ships (especially Olympic class ships).

It is not that irrelevant when you think about it.  In hindsight, the Titanic was a "fail boat."  So why bother having a Titanic II when the original one sank?  Obviously some people are out to make some money off the name.  I'm sure if the survivors were still living, they would be very upset about it.  Coincidentally, they announce this right after the last survivor has passed away in 2009.  Sounds fishy if you ask me!

 

So what does the RRS Discovery have anything to do with it?  Well, the RRS Discovery has had other namesakes.  Unlike the Titanic, none of them ever sank. 

 

Now if you want my opinion, I think the RMS Queen Mary has the most interesting history.

Why make a new one? It's the most famous ship in the world. People like to experience history. The ships made during the Edwardian-era have the best looks, IMO.

 

It has mixed feelings. But there have been some relatives of survivors who like this idea.

 

In case you didn't know, this is the 2nd time in history that someone is attempting to re-build the Titanic. I'm not quite sure why the original plan failed.

I'm going to laugh if this one sinks too. Am I a bad person?
