The movie captured the hearts of millions in the 90s, but I think it's important to remember that this was a real-life tragedy that cost the lives of 1,503 people.
#10 The Grand Staircase The Titanic was a marvel in its time. It proved what man could achieve. The tragedy and pain caused by its loss was captured perfectly by the movie.
Even though the ship of dreams sank over a hundred years ago the wound still seems fresh in our minds. Australian billionaire Clive Palmer agrees with us all. But unlike most of us, he can do something about it.
Clive Palmer has set out on a £300 million mission to rebuild a fully functioning replica.The plan is to launch an aesthetically identical Titanic II, equipped with the modern safety and navigational features.Here are pictures and a video that gives you an exclusive look inside the Titanic 2
#9 Dining Room Like the original the ship the replica will be 270-metre-long, 53-metre-high, and it will offer first, second, and third-class tickets.
Here's what it is going to look like. The right side shows pictures of the original Titanic while the left displays the fully functioning replica. This image shows the dining room available for the first class passengers.
#8 Swimming Pool The Titanic was one of the first ships to have a swimming pool. While this may not compare to any of the current boat pools it still remains authentic.
#7 First Class Rooms First class rooms completely the same.
#6 The Cafe Parisienne The Café Parisienne was an entirely new luxury innovation aboard Titanic. The café's large picture windows gave diners a view of the sea while dining - something that had never before been done on a British ship. This innovation was later adopted on Olympic.

#5 The Bridge The Bridge of the titanic has also been replicated. But don't worry, the ship has still been fit with the best technology from today. Since the real bridge is right behind the replicated one.
#4 Smoking Room The First class smoking room. It was a room reserved only for men. Today it will be open for all.
#3 A Gym Not just any gym, the gym will have an authentic Edwardian feel to it. This is what people used to stay in shape a hundred years ago.
#2 And More... The Titanic 2 is an ambitious dream. It is a dedication of hard work and love. These unique additions bring out the old timey feel and touch perfectly. Watch it all on video on the next page...
