In 1907, J. Bruce Ismay (President of the White Star Line) and Lord Pirrie (Chairman of Harland & Wolff shipbuilders) dreamed up the idea to build luxurious ocean liners as a way for the White Star Line to compete in the transatlantic passenger market. A total of three ships were planned: The Olympic, Titanic and Gigantic. The next year was spent doing extensive design work.


On July 30, 1908, authorization was given to build the Titanic and her sister ship the Olympic. In 1911, the order was placed for the third ship Gigantic. When this ship was completed, it was ultimately named the Britannic. Many believe that the name was changed because Gigantic sounded too similar to Titanic.

The keel for the Titanic was laid on March 31, 1909.

The Titanic was launched on May 31, 1911 at 12:15 pm.

The Titanic left Belfast, Ireland and headed for Southampton, England on April 2, 1912.

Titanic arrives in Southhampton on April 3, 1912.

The Titanic left Southampton on its maiden voyage on Wednesday, April 10, 1912 at 12:00 Noon.

The Titanic struck an iceberg on Sunday, April 14, 1912 at 11:40 pm.

The Titanic sank on Monday, April 15, 1912 at 2:20 am.

The wreck of the Titanic was found on September 1, 1985.

Present Day! The USSCR's foremost shipbuilder, SETCO, makes a press release stating its intent to build a second Titanic! The approximate cost for its construction will be approximately 45 million USD.

Specifications:
Gross Tonnage: 46,328
Length: 883 feet.
Beam: 93 feet.
Number of Decks: 9
Cruising Speed: ~23 knots
Passenger Capacity: 2,500
Total Crew: 944
Total Passengers & Crew: 3,444
Draught: 34 feet.
Displacement: 66,000 tons of water.

The Titanic had 4 funnels (smokestacks). Each was 62 feet tall and had a diameter of 22 feet.

The distance from keel to top of funnels was 175 feet.

The rudder was 78 feet high, weighed about 101 tons and was cast in 6 separate pieces.

Titanic's 3 anchors had a combined weight of 31 tons.

More than 3 million rivets were used to build the Titanic.

"Triple screw" - 3 propellers. The 2 outer propellers had a diameter of 23 feet and the center propeller had a diameter of 17 feet.

Engines: Two four-cylinder steam reciprocating engines and one low pressure turbine engine. The turbine, which drove the center propeller, utilized the exhaust steam from the other engines. (The new Titanic will allow the turbine to go in reverse, meaning the middle screw can turn in reverse as well. It will be electrically assisted.) This design recycled the exhausted steam instead of wastefully venting it up the funnels. The result: an increase in efficiency.

Electronics: Standard shipping equipment will be incorporated in a non-imposing manner.


The total horsepower of the engines was 51,000.

29 boilers - 24 double ended and 5 single ended.

159 furnaces.

(The Furnaces will be fired by coal through an automated, agitating chute system.)

16 watertight compartments.(raised to boat deck)

15 transverse watertight bulkheads (raised to boat deck)

Equipped with 40 lifeboats (total capacity 2,880). (Modern Technology gives much better collapsables, and several "Zodiacs" will be aboard by the plenty. An enormous amount of all-weather rafts will be stored in several "Fake Compartments," which is the reason the new Titanic can carry less passengers than the original.)

BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW!
NOTE: ALL ROOMS WILL HAVE BASIC HUMANE SERVICES. ALL CLASSES ALLOWED TO ACCESS ALL PARTS OF THE SHIP.

When queried on the name of the ship, SETCOM announced it would keep the original name, "R.M.S. Titanic."

Much controversy has arisen over the name. Some say it is cursed, others say you are as much dishonoring the dead.

The keel has been laid and production steams ahead.

OOC: I take it this will sink as well? :p

I guess I will have one of the special suites on B-deck, you know, with the 50 foot private promenade. Money will be wired on confirmation.

If not, then I'll take 2 1st class cabins on B-Deck (not A-Deck since you have a damn promenade blocking your view and C deck and ****ing portholes)

OOC: Forgive me if I don't start kicking people down to get tickets... :p

The Federation would like to purchase a 3rd class ticket for Commissar Hasan Abdel of the Commissariat of Diplomacy.

The Commissariat of Diplomacy
The Socialist Federation of Hallad

I'll take a ticket on A deck. And I'd like permission to go to the engine-rooms; I've always wanted to see those magnificent machines at work.

OOC: I take it this will sink as well? :p

OOC: It is yet to be decided just WHAT I shall do on its maiden voyage. Most likely, there will be an incident. But since some countries may be sending their leaders, there will be little to no loss of life.

All ticket purchases confirmed.

Modern passenger luxuries include tours of every part of the ship, with the appropriate safety equipment.

OOC: It is yet to be decided just WHAT I shall do on its maiden voyage. Most likely, there will be an incident. But since some countries may be sending their leaders, there will be little to no loss of life.
OOC you can have it sink with the same loss of life as the 1st time. The chiefs of state will live or die based on what their controller RPs they do. Please I want to see the ship sink

OOC: We will see. BUT DON'T LET THAT STOP YOU FROM BUYING TICKETS! BUY NOW! BE APART OF HISTORY!

In addition to Comrade Commissar Abdel, Premier James Cross has requested a place on the voyage. He, like the good Commissar is paying with his own money, and would like a 1st class ticket, so he might interact with any statesmen on board. He has requests a room on A deck.

The Socialist Federation of Hallad

Second order confirmed. We hope to see you on launching day.

Where should the money be wired to?

The Socialist Federation of Hallad

All Money at this time is being wired to the government. As you know, the government receives all money SETCO makes....

Very well. We have wired the required money to the Communist Rule international bank account.

The Socialist Federation of Hallad

Confirmed.

Will this ship sink? If so, President J.L. will buy tickets for all his political rivals. :D

IC: My dear sir, the thought of a sinking ship at this time in age is incredulous. This ship is nearly unsinkable.

The Titanic had 4 funnels (smokestacks). Each was 62 feet tall and had a diameter of 22 feet.


Funny thing about those funnels. Only 3 of them worked. The other one was just there for a feature.

After that move came out I literally studied everything about that ship.

OOC: Noted, dear sir. I'm glad to see you've read up on the Titanic as well. Note that the fact that the fourth smokestack was not widely publicized as fake. The same applies for SETCO's Titanic. However, yes, I know, the fourth smokestack only vented the boiler rooms, really.

Cantor Hyam Malachi would like a first class(or whatever the most expensive one is) ticket.

The Great Armed Republic of Nutropinia would like to reserve two of the special suites on B-Deck for the Dictator Paul 'The Mad' Silver, one for himself and one for his Armed Guards. Cost is no matter. We would also like to reserve three of the third class rooms for his "servants."

Confirmed. We hope to see you on the launch date.

NOTED DATES

September 22th: The Launching Party for the Titanic's hull.

September 24th: The Maiden Voyage of the Titanic.

OOC: It is yet to be decided just WHAT I shall do on its maiden voyage. Most likely, there will be an incident. But since some countries may be sending their leaders, there will be little to no loss of life.


Just because world leaders are being sent on the ship doesn't mean that it can't sink! Just remember the mistake was saying that the ship was unsinkable- that is why the Titanic sunk. That and they were too stupid to go around an iceburg. But still- if God can allow tons of people to die on 9/11 then why can't God allow a couple world leaders to die on a ship???

Plus people are gonna make scams about the ship while on board they are gonna say stuff like iceburg ahead so in other words the maiden voyage is gonna suck.

I will buy one A Class Ticket. It will be from my pocket, money wired upon confirmation.

((OOC: First time I RP Nikolai... he's a pervert really...))

Even if they weapons are non-explosive, non-lethal weapons?

OOC: My dear sir, I take into account the nationstates communitys' indifferences towards their leaders' lives. It is thus that the ship will most likely sink, with loss of life. I also note that any foul RP aboard the Titanic will be reported to the moderators posthaste.

TIOR-- Order Confirmed.

Nutropinia-- Nothing classified as a weapon will be allowed. The customs officials have full judgement.

That is fully understood.

Buy your tickets today! Reserve a place in history!

" Harry bumped into a waitress and fell over into the pool."Are you okay buddy?"Alice asked.

"Gluggg Glug Pwahh! I am okay get me out of the pool mam though and i will be forever grateful! Harry said as he rose out of the pool.

3 hours later...

"No Harry i want to watch TNNN,because they have My Favorite Hatrians on tonite!"
The brothers started making a loud commotion that the waitress that had taken Harry out of the pool noticed and said "Stop fighting you...!"
"Umppph!" Alice tackled the brothers and started yelling at them while the were wrestling her!

Gregory Rengal and two pals of his walked to their cabin.

"I tell you. This baby will not even think of sinking." Pal #1 said. "It has modern technology, radar and all that shit."

"Yeah, but what about the name? Titanic! It's supposed to be cursed!" Pal #2 said in a high pitched voice.

"Aww, cut that curse crap. We're here, and we'll enjoy our vacation!" Gregory said. He heard a commotion in the next room. "Fuckin' kids. Can't they KEEP QUIET in there?"

Jack Bai told his sons quiet down and walked to the door. He saw Gregory and his 2 pals and said "Sorry that was my 2 sons and they quited down.Want to watch TNNN?"

I studied everything about the ship after the 1996 Computer game "Titanic Adventure out of Time"

Leningrad, USSCR
At the bow of the Hull of the R.M.S. Titanic

Poised at the great bow of the R.M.S. Titanic was a large deck, dripping streamers. Atop it stood Premier Lobonsky, several USSCR Naval personnel, Red Star Line employees, and the CEO's Wife.

Upon an official handshake from Premier Lobonsky, symbolically granting the Red Star Lines the permission to put a new vessel to sea, the CEO's wife swung a champagne bottle against its hull, shattering into many pieces and foaming just as the gigantic stops were pulled, the R.M.S. Titanic sliding into water for the first time in almost a century.

Premier Lobonsky stepped up to the microphone for his formal speech:

"The United States of Communist Rule, Our Allies at Militarized Nations, and the World welcome the Royal Mail Steamer Titanic to the waters of the USSCR."

Titanic was soon caught by tugs and maneuvered alongside the docks to be furnished and completed. On the 24th, the Titanic would blow its whistles for the first time in nearly a cenutry!

TO avoid disruption Parliament will go into it's Christmas Recess on the 8th of October.

The Minsiters that are traveling will arrive on the 10th and will stay at an undisclosed hotel.

The People's Republic of Vistadin warns you to steer clear of any icebergs! lol I'm just curious where will it take off from and where will be the destination?

From the Desk of the Chancellor

It is great news to hear the re-birth of such a legendary vessel. It truely is a shame that the most luxurious modes of transit have been forced aside by the publics urge to travel faster. However in support of your program and personal interest, I would like to purchase 5 first class tickets.

I understand that although our politics may differ, I do not see any reason why the people of the world can't gather in peace and celebrate such a fine vessel. Upon that statement I would like to ask that my safety and that of my entourage will be guaranteed during our arrival to Leningrad and during our time on the boat.

Sincerely,
Chancellor Alexander Faulkner

The ship is one of beauty, and the USSCR will not let such a work of art be reserved for peoples of the same politics, race, or creed. It is truely a world-wide gift.

Bump

BUMP. Check recent posts.

From the Desk of the Chancellor

It would seem that my ticket purchases have roused an interest in other members of the Avadrian government as well as a certain celebrity. Therefore I am requesting the purchase of 6 more first class tickets. The noted people are an adjutant to the Emperor, a few people from the press, as well as Ori Hallard, one of Avadira's reknowned cricket players. If required, a full list of our passengers can be provided.

Again I egearly await this voyage.

Sincerely,
Chancellor Alexander Faulkner

Tickets confirmed. We thank you for your patronage. A full dossier of your passengers is not necessary, as our customs officials will be looking into passengers' records like bloodhounds.

Official Statement from Red Tides Supreme Commander, Gregori McKenna
"Me and my wife will purchase a A-deck 1st class, dual bedroom ticket. However... I DEMAND that before we get on that you thoroughly, and I mean THOROUGHLY, sweep the ship for any stow-aways, bombs etc. I have manyh enemies and I want too make sure me and my wife are safe."
END STATEMENT!

OOC:Actually... my Head of State is just paranoid... all of his enemies have been executed :P .

A chance to sail upon the legendary Titanic has aroused the intrest of much of the President of ISAF's cabinet, so 6 1st Class Tickets will be ordered. The President himself would like access to the Engine Room and limited access to the bridge (i.e., only when you deem it possible). We appreciate your infinite kindness in allowing us to embark on such an epic voyage.

Sincerely,
President James McKnight and Co.

Location: Office of Eric Stevenson, High Imperator of Montilado

"Come on sir, you'll have fun, and think of the publicity."

One of his advisors says, trying to convince Eric to buy a ticket on the Titanic.

"No... No NO NOOO. Imagine if there was a rebel there and he shot me! It's too dangerous."

Eric shouts back in a stern voice

"Which is why we came up with these two gadgets for you sir, this one" the advisor says holding up a pen "fires a small burst of electricity to dispatch any foe, It runs on a small rechargeable battery and its non-lethal so far. And this one" holds up a watch "has a mini 2 way video communication system built into it, incase you need to contact us for help."

Eric sits back and thinks for a minute then sighs and stands up

"Oh alright ill go, it does sound kind of fun, have my servants pack my baggage immediately and purchase a ticket, 1ST CLASS or ill have your head!"

Message to the USSCR

Eric Stevenson the High Imperator of Montilado has taken an interest in the ship and would like to purchase a first class ticket on deck A. He has requested also to have a good view of the ocean if at all possible; the funds will be wired in once confirmation of the ticket purchase has been made.

Sincerely,

Danielle Keys
Personal secretary to the High Imperator of Montilado

All tickets confirmed.

The ship as it stands is virtually impenetrable. The workers getting on are scanned, and getting off they are scanned. All cargo is scanned, and the surveilliance system is top notch.

Special Accomodations confirmed.

BUMP.

Sailing Date: October 14th.

Bump. Tickets still for sale!

Tickets still for sail for the maiden voyage on October 14th.

Minister Heather Papanadreou(25) of Ottoman Greece. Would like an A-deck 1st class,Single bedroom ticket

Tickets confirmed. We hope to see you on the 14th!

did I get confirmed for one of the 2 B-deck promenade suites or just 2 regular 1st class suites on B-Deck?

Also, why does everyone want A-Deck? B is the best. A-deck has poor window views due to the promenade running the length of the superstructure.

Oh yeah, my guy is named Isador Strauss, his wife is Ida Strauss.

The Special Suites on B-deck are yours, as no one else requested one.

I'm only taking 1 of the 2 suites (in RL, J.P. Morgan reserved one of them, but due to other events missed the voyage, Ismay had the other)

The Great Armed Republic of Nutropinia Requested one of them. Plus a second regular 1st-class room on b-deck on the same side and 3 third class cabins.

Hmm. A dilemma. One two each of you and A deck cabins for the remaining tickets. A price rebate will occur. Sorry for the clerical error.

That is no problem. Thank you for the understanding.

I'll take a B-deck, A-deck is overrated. You have no view since you have the damn promenade and people looking in your windows

I would like to purchase 3 first class tickets, for your three biggest rooms remaining. If only regular rooms are remaining, we would like to extend an offer to anyone who has a larger room, offering a sum of 1 million USD per room.

If you prefer.

The suites are no longer available, but your offer may stand with the suite holders. HOWEVER, you will have to pay for B or A-deck cabins until/if you can procure a suite.

Otherwise, tickets confirmed.

The Great Armed Republic of Nutropinia politely refuses Jingle Jangle Ridge's offer because Dictator Paul 'The Mad' Silver only travels in the finest accomdations.

Very well. The remaining suite is IDF's.

BUMP! Tickets still for sail before we set sail on October 14th!

A-F cabins still available! BUY NOW! RESERVE A PLACE IN HISTORY!

Tickets still available. Maiden Voyage is coming up fast.

The prominent naval officer Commander Edward J. Smith (ironically enough) and his family of 5 wishes to book a B-deck cabin for the vacation voyage.

Your tickets are confirmed, but we will hesitate to let Passenger Smith near the bridge. ;)

Last Call For Ticket Purchases! Maiden Voyage Sets Sail Very Soon. Arrival Rp Begins Tomorrow Night.

Three questions:
Can the HMS Government launch flyovers for the entertainment of guests?
Are submarines allowed underneath the vessel, to allow the KPM to evacuate the ship for whatever reason, be it a fault in or out the veessel?
For the same reason, is there a helipad.

Parliament started recess on the 10th.

The KPM is now at CR, waiting in an unnamed hotel (with his wife) for the launch.

Commander Smith and his family awaited the Titanic in their Marriott hotel.

His wife, Nancy Smith is a sweet brunette who takes no nonsense from her children.

Samuel Smith is the oldest boy at 17, and is a straight-A student.

Jennifer Smith is the middle at 12 years of age and is a tomboy who prefers to rough it with the boys rather than play dolls with the girls.

Mark Smith is the youngest at 6, and is as hyperactive as a kid can be.

The Voyage is beginning!

Possibly I can buy some late tickets and get aboard just as it leaves?

You may, if you can hurry.

I will buy space for two in A-F cabins. =D I'll go post my arrival, no time to lose...

I'll put you in a C deck cabin.

Thanks.
