Among the new features, however, will be a helipad and modern safety features.

There will also be a lifeboat for everyone on board - unlike the 1912 vessel, on which more than 1,500 passengers and crew died on the ill-fated voyage.

Titanic 2 will be 13ft wider than the original ship, but its length, height and weight will be similar and will also nine decks.
