Some thoughts: - It doesn't appear to be a 1:1 scale replica, because those portholes seem too small - It's interesting how the red anti-fouling paint is visible, this would suggest the Titanic was not loaded with passengers or cargo. If it was, the anti-fouling paint would not be visible above water (I know, I'm being very nitpicky lol) - I think the iceberg is in poor taste - can you imagine a 9/11 museum reproducing the Twin Towers with airplanes sticking out of them? But then the disaster of the Titanic has always been commercialised, right from first day after. Tacky souvenir postcards, sheet music and rushed-into print books abounded in the months and years afterwards - To finish on a more positive note, a 1:1 scale reproduction of the Titanic's centre anchor was undertaken for an episode of the series "Titanic: The Mission" (a.k.a "We Built Titanic"). It was produced using the some techniques and materials as the original (so it's not hollow!) and is now on display in the centre of the town of Netherton, Dudley, UK. Netherton was home to the Hingleys anchor and chain works where Titanic's anchors and chains were fabricated.
Enjoy Mark!
Very cool!!
Wish I was there.
You will one day. I always wanted to come.

I completely agree with you. I don't like the iceberg either. I heard that the replica is 1/2 the size. That's so true about 911.
Not to scale
Agreed
I actually live 20 mins from there! We love our Smokys ❤

You should! It was my dream as well
