How is the Icon of the Seas bigger than the Titanic? The Titanic in 1912 was more than 852 feet long, with 46,329 gross tonnage. The Icon of the Seas' tonnage is five times that of the Titanic.
According to the U.S. committee investigating the sinking, 1,517 lives were lost, and its British counterpart determined that 1,503 died. The crew suffered the most casualties, with about 700 fatalities. Third class also suffered greatly, as only 174 of its approximately 710 passengers survived.
Titanic II is a planned passenger ocean liner intended to be a functional modern-day replica of the Olympic-class RMS Titanic. The new ship is planned to have a gross tonnage (GT) of 56,000, while the original ship measured about 46,000 gross register tons (GRT).
The ship carried at least twelve dogs, only three of which survived. First-class passengers often traveled with their pets. The Titanic was equipped with a first-rate kennel and the dogs were well-cared for, including daily exercise on deck.
A century after the original sank to the bottom of the ocean, a new Titanic ship will set sail across the Atlantic Ocean. The replica is the passion project of Australian businessman and politician Clive Palmer and is expected to make its maiden voyage in 2022.
