A Titanic replica is under construction in China

It’s been more than a century since the sinking of the Titanic, and soon a documentary on six Chinese passengers aboard will be released globally.

The film is called 'The Six' and was released in China in April. The Chinese passengers survived only to be turned away by the U.S. due to the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.

The famous story of that ill-fated ocean liner also is inspiring an ambitious project in China.

This would probably make for the only reason for me to travel to China. Love this idea of remaking the Titanic.

[colonelbeanbagsfishing]

Being able to visit one day would be a dream come true for me, I’ve been fascinated with titanic and history since I was four.

[KevinAssalin]

Some people: this is wrong...you guys are making money out of a tragedy!!
James cameron: 🙄😐🤫

[bigpapaadam]

It’s honoring the Titanic and those that were lost. So amazing!

[reinerbraun]

Don't care what anyone says. I'm going all the way to China, head to this place and I'm gonna be recreating Rose and Jack's flying scene while Celine Dion sings on loud speakers.

Im getting real annoyed at all these people yelling about how the ship looks nothing like the real Titanic.

How tf can you tell? Its not even done yet. So shut up and just wait until its done before complaining

[nebulax]

0:12, I cant stop replaying this part

[liamtee]

Under the boat it will say “made in China”

[lurkingarachnid]

So did they make an iceberg replica too?

[MrPawelGajewski]

I would like to point out that the double portholes in D deck dining saloon were only aprox 18 inches wide. The ones seen here are WAAAAYYYY too big.

[Napp]

I have to laugh when they talk of 100% accuracy as there is a VERY flawed model directly in view on the desk LOL

[Nitro]

Am I the only one concerned that the model of Titanic the project leader has on his desk looks absolutely nothing like the Titanic? lol.

[TheCarnivalguy]

0:40 I hope the finished product looks nowhere near that awful model sitting there. 😂
Suggestion: If you’re building a replica of what has become one of the most famous ships in history, and the North Atlantic’s worst maritime tragedy, at least have a model present during a filmed interview that actually resembles the Titanic. 🙄

[shannonfitzallen]

I feel this should of been built in Belfast

[pdmacguire]

Foreign tourists won't be allowed to even visit this, so don't get your hopes up.

[ndfproductionsofficial]

Wait so what titanic ship re-make was supposed to set sail in 2022-2023??? There’s a titanic ship that’s supposed to set sail and follow the original rout of the original ship

[shinhatiwolf_]

I'm glad to finally see actual progress on this. I was starting to think that Titanic 2 wasn't going to happen. Thank you for uploading this video.

[ravenwda]

I didn't know DISASTERS were considered as "touching stories".

[Jagddish]

I wanna watch Titanic movie on this replica 🎯♥️

[Hoshino_Aquamarine_Wolf]

If titanic 2 will be done so many people will be in the ship bows and saying "AM THE KING OF THW WORLD"
