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? |  |  | | 03-19-2006, 12:59 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Port St. Johns, Florida Posts: 2,242 |

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 | | | | | 03-19-2006, 01:30 AM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 |

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. | | | | | 03-19-2006, 01:45 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Melbourne, Fl/Athens, AL Posts: 393 |
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. __________________ -Kenny

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. | | | | | 03-19-2006, 02:30 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 |
so they can make a boat that can weigh 50 million pounds and it will float? | | | | | 03-19-2006, 02:42 AM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Tyler, TX Posts: 1,022 |

The weight of the water it's displacing just has to be greater than the weight of the boat. | | | | | 03-19-2006, 10:26 AM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Port St. Johns, Florida Posts: 2,242 |
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 | | | | | 03-19-2006, 11:31 AM | #12 | | Junior Member Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 17 |
giganto super tankers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ULCC 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. | | | | | 03-27-2006, 12:58 AM | #13 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: New Jersey Posts: 363 |
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... __________________ RIP
