I can't help but think though that making an exact replica of a poorly designed boat is a tad silly. Why not use it as an inspiration and make a modern vessel instead?
I would go on it. I would be one of the rich and immoral people who would have been first in the queue for the life boats anyway.

They say that 40,000 people have already applied for tickets.
There is indeed going to be some sort of faux "Third Class", and toffs will be able to buy tickets to spend part of the journey down there with the hoi polloi.
