    I sort of wonder... will it have plumbing and power akin to its earlier predecessor? Will there be stowaway passengers? (probably !)
    Just... HOW does one keep rats out of a ship that size that is permanently moored? Or, is is to be permanently moored? What a boon for the Chi-com Navy, to suddenly 'produce' a capital warship? Then, I reckon that weapons systems are tough to hide from orbiting surveillance platforms. I am just thinking aloud here, that's all. JMO, it will be quite a boondoggle.

      Titanic 2 doesn't have engines ? Where did it say that ?
      One more thing....there is apparently a Titanic 2 being built, but then there is the floating attraction. Apparently different construction projects.

        Would you enlarge on that ?

          I wonder if the Chinese had a "trained engineer" to do the work?

            I thought Sam died. No Titanic 2, and now this disappointment.

              From the Titanic II wiki page:

              Palmer's project should not be confused with a Chinese Titanic replica ship which had its keel laying on November 29, 2016. Commissioned by Seven Star Energy Investment, it is to function as a part of Romandisea resort on the River Qi in Sichuan province. Unlike Palmer's Titanic II, the all-Chinese replica is not intended to sail on any ocean but will be permanently docked within a reservoir.[74] The ship, which was still under construction in mid February 2019 was scheduled to be completed later in the year,[75] although the initial completion date was 2018.[76] The estimated cost of the project was £125 million.[77]
              So I'm talking about the landlocked one mentioned above, but possibly some confusion here.

                Thanks. My thread was about Chinese one. Seeing as how they are
                working from the original blueprints, I assumed they would include
                engines. The engines would be non functional but I would think
                necessary as I'm sure guests would want to see them. It wouldn't
                be much of a replica without them.

                  I agree they need something for people to look at and make sounds over. I remember being in the National Archives in DC when a guard is explaining the no camera rules. Meanwhile a Chinese tourist behind me is arming his selfie stick. She chewed him out good, short lady, DC local, telling him to put the damn thing away. Chinese have no business IMO coming to DC when their own state is one-party, crony capitalism fueled by corruption.
