Titanic2.0

Plans to build a scaled-down replica of iconic liner in Belfast, but no word yet on an iceberg.
The morphing of Belfast into Titanic City is gathering pace with plans for a large scale-model of the iconically doomed liner to be built as part conference centre, part hotel and part museum.
The only thing that is missing from the Titanic heritage industry’s scheme is a replica iceberg to complement the ship-shaped building (the two linked by a lifeboat-shaped walkway, perhaps, with the “iceberg” building containing an ice rink, a museum of refrigeration and a polar bear sanctuary).
