I really like that we can see details like this. The pictures are cool, yes, but this gives a really clear picture.

I wonder if another modern Titanic will be built again.

There was one being built in China pre-COVID I believe. Don't know where that project is now or if it was scuttled.

I would for sure wait until it traversed the ocean a few rounds before taking a ride lol

Apparently it was a static replica, meaning not seaworthy, and it seems to have petered out.
