We’ve discussed this problem before, but being a billionaire is…hard. You have to decide what to do with all that money. You could try mining asteroids or just dress up as a rodent and fight crime. You can now add building replica cruise ships to the list. Duncan Kennedy reports that one Australian billionaire plans to build a replica of the Titanic:

• The planned launch date is 2016 and Titanics III and IV may follow.
• The ship will, like the original, have three classes, and those in third class will have the opportunity to share rooms and partake in Irish jigs.
• It will have replica lifeboats. (Although as a concession to its passengers it will also come equipped with modern lifeboats that can fit all of the passengers on the ship.)
• Other differences include air conditioning and internet, as well as a wider base to meet modern stability standards.
• Each room will have a wooden cabinet with a picture of the person who occupied the room on the original Titanic, as well as a short biography that tells you if the person lived or died.
