Didn't they (JP scientists) insert frog DNA to fill in the gaps?
Nothing could possibly go wrong using such a tried-and-true method!

despite the bad mojo i think it would be so cool to take a cruse on a replica of the titanic. They would have to fix some problems to make it safer but it would be nice to have that experiance i think

this thread also made me want to find titanic 2 ..... i found it on netflix its really freaking cheesy and looks like it was a movie the syfi channel made, but still it was a good movie. They talked about how the engineers rushed the titanic 2 in order to meet a deadline which was the anniversary of the titanic 1st launch i think, and how it barely passed inspection. I think if someone had the want and resources to build it they should,but make shure its safe and don't make the mistakes that would play with peoples lives . I do wish someone would do it though i really do

If it is a replica of the Titanic will it have the steerage decks? Who would pay for that these days when you can fly. I heard on ABC news today that they want $1 million for some the the best cabins on the maiden voyage.
I took a great cruise out of Galveston last year. Had a cabin with a balcony for 7 days, drank a lot and pigged out to the point of being sick of steak and lobster, and the whole thing cost about $1900. One thing I learned, you can't just order another lobster tail all by itself - It comes with an extra steak.

That's not a cruise ship, though, which is what Omnis was referring to. Everything on deck has to be removed along with various structures & cables as well as all personal ready in the event of an accident; it's a 45-60 minute operation for a helicopter to land on a cruise ship. As he said, it's one of the most dangerous feats for a pilot with crosswinds, drafts, & whatever else that can't be judged accurately. This in combination with the ship's bridge just within' yards of the blades.
The heli in that picture also isn't exactly in great size to this.

Well that's just it. People pay because these days cruises are more, sometimes entirely, about the journey than the destination. Considering I'm pretty sure the two hour flight from here to Jamaica costs much less than any cruise ship.

At least they are doing it for a good cause.
Breaking the law for a good cause? No, please, carry on!
Paying hundreds of thousands to travel on a ship 100 years behind what you could be travelling on for a just few thousand?

Proof they are breaking the law? No more so than Japan clearly breaking the law. Killing hundreds of whales every year for "research" my ass.

It's pretty obvious to anyone watching that they regularly break maritime law. I won't even start on ramming other ships...

Funny, they've been rammed 5 times in the last couple weeks by the Japanese ships. See if however you want, I support them 100%.

To keep on topic, have a little read. Especially the bit about the Japanese research exemption and the Ady Gil.

We don't allow vigilantes to enforce the law on land, so why on earth would we allow them to do it at sea, where the stakes are arguably much higher?

What makes their info the truth? Because they say it is?
Nah, read for a little and clicked it off. Thanks though.

Many sources to support it, some are linked on the page. I hate whaling as much as anyone (but mainly because the whales suffer greatly before dying) but the Japanese are breaking no laws by what they are doing. Whether those laws are 'right' or not is a different matter.

They are whaling in the Australian Antarctic waters. Australia currently has an injunction on them, forbidding them to do so. They're doing it anyway. Sounds to me like they're breaking a law. In any case, they arrived down there late this year, were found almost immediately by SS who has been tailing them non-stop since then, and their season is 2 weeks from being over and they have killed a dozen whales at most. This will certainly be their worst year yet.

'Since the Antarctic Treaty came into force in 1961, Article 4 of which states "The treaty does not recognize, dispute, nor establish territorial sovereignty claims; no new claims shall be asserted while the treaty is in force", most countries do not recognise territorial claims in Antarctica.'
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Antarctic_Territory
As above, the "Australian Antartic Territory" isn't even a legitimate maritime claim. Out of 194 countries only 4 agree with it, Japan not being one of them. No laws being broken there.

Whatever, we're off topic anyhow and I'm not going to agree with you so let's just drop it.
