How much would it cost to build the Titanic again?
Considering the fact that the Queen Mary 2 cost $780,000,000 to build, $50 million wouldn’t even cover the down payment to build a clone of the Titanic. Considering technology has advanced so much since the Titanic, the cost of finding tradesmen who can duplicate the old construction techniques will be a monumental task in and of itself. I’ve seen estimates for such an undertaking ranging anywhere from $600 million to almost $800 million. The cost of constructing with backward technology is even more expensive than building with standard tech today. After looking over everything I could find on the subject, I believe a well organized company could do it for around $650-$750 million. However, you would have to watch every penny and find craftsmen & tradesmen who can pull it off. IMHO, I think it would be much more effective to build a similar ship with new tech but in old style. Better yet, give me all of the money, I’ll get a nice big yacht, rename it the Titanic II, and cruise around
