The?Titanic replica will make its first voyage from?Southampton,?England?to New York in 2016. The Titanic is a famous ship that sank in 1912. The attractive story of the?ocean liner(邮轮)?has made millions of people interested in it around the world. It was believed to be an unsinkable ship but it hit an iceberg and sank on its first voyage.?More than 1,500 people died in the sinking of the Titanic, which at the time was the world’s largest and most luxurious ocean liner. When fully built, the Titanic II will be 270 meters (886 feet) long and capable of holding 1,680 passengers. Unlike the original Titanic which was powered by coal-fired boiler and steam engines, the Titanic II will have modern diesel(柴油机) and electric engines. Also unlike the first Titanic, the Titanic II will have more than enough lifeboats to accommodate everyone on board if something should go wrong.
