Titanic boat 2??

i was watching discovery channel the other day and saw they will make a new titanic. Same color, same look etc. But this new titanic is going to be 2x and a half longer so 2 1/2 larger than the first. The name of the boat is called Titanix. Your opinion?

thats a bit of a stupid phrase considering titanic weighed a HUGE amount anyways and floated.....

That's like making a dirigible and naming it the Hindenberg

i was just asking, dont get crazy. Its like saying, if a 200 pound guy ran 18 mph, and he then weighed 240, would he still run those 18mph? i was just asking.

The weights won't really matter. All they need to do is displace a suitable amount of water to make up for the added weight.

In WWII they made cargo/transport boats out of concert since the steel was going to warships.

It's all about displacement, not weight of material.

so they can make a boat that can weigh 50 million pounds and it will float?

in a word, yes. The weight of the water it's displacing just has to be greater than the weight of the boat.

if I am not mistaken 50,000,000 pounds is 25,000 tons. which is a basic Merchant vessel.

The Bismark was 41,700 metric tons.

the Yamato was 65,000-ton, over 72,800-tons at full load

I remember seeing a program on the discovery channel or history channel a long while back that talked about a new titanic, but I also remember looking it up on the net a long while ago only to find that they had decided against building it.

Why would you want to build a new Titanic. I mean... what purpose would it hold?

Wasn't it run off of coal? What would be the point of building a new one, it seems completely idiotic for them to do that...
