A project with a titanic goal: recreating the Titanic

Will Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet lend some glamour to the launch?

Aerial images were published last week on the progress of a true-to-scale replica of the ill-fated Titanic ocean liner under construction on a riverbank in Southwest China's Sichuan province.

Easily the world's most famous shipwreck, the Titanic was the largest passenger ship in the world in the 1910s and was designed to be "unsinkable".
