Billionaire rebuilds Titanic - it's cheaper here

Translation: machine translated
If you buy a Titanic from us, you really will be shopping like a billionaire for once. Like the Australian who wants to rebuild the Titanic for around half a billion francs. With us, you can do that for much less money.
Clive Palmer is an Australian billionaire who made his fortune in mining. He likes to set sail, and his favourite place to do so is the Titanic. However, as the Titanic has been lying at the bottom of the sea since 1912, Clive has now announced his intention to rebuild the Titanic for the second time since 2012. And not just true to the original, but "better than the original" - whatever that means.
It's much more fun travelling on the Titanic than sitting at home counting the money, says Clive Palmer about his plans. And so he wants to spend between 300 and 600 million francs on his long-cherished dream. Construction is due to start as early as next year. If everything goes as planned, the Titanic II will be launched in 2027 and set off on the same maiden voyage 115 years after the original, from Southampton in the UK to New York. Hopefully without the disastrous rendezvous with an iceberg.
I say: Be like Clive, rebuild the Titanic! With us. And save hundreds of millions in the process.

No shipwreck with Lego
The shop offers around 100 Titanic-related products. The flagship in the range is clearly the Titanic from Lego. Once you have assembled the more than 9,000 pieces, you will have a 135-centimetre-long and 14-kilogram model in front of you. The Lego Titanic, which a former work colleague rebuilt, now stands in our open-plan office. And is happily gathering dust. Jänu.
Puzzles for those in a hurry and the patient
To my knowledge, there is no record of how many individual parts the real Titanic was assembled from. Who would have counted that? The pieces of the Titanic puzzles are predetermined. Depending on how long it takes for your patience to break, you can choose between 30, 266 or 1000 pieces.

Murder hunt on the Titanic
Crime dinners have enjoyed great popularity for some time now. With "Murderous Dinner Party: Dance of Death on the Titanic", you don't even have to leave the house. Invite a few friends over and discuss the death of Lord Wellington over dinner. Was it the captain? His concubine? Or was it the iceberg? Find out.
Spiritual nourishment for young and old
Are Lego, puzzles and board games not your thing? Do you crave more knowledge and prefer to stick your nose into books on the topic of the Titanic? We can help with that too: From non-fiction and foreign-language specialist books to adventurous fiction, you're sure to find what you're looking for here.
The sinking of the Titanic in 1912 is one of the greatest maritime disasters. Various children's books teach your children the historical facts and everything they need to know in an age-appropriate way. Otherwise, future generations may still believe that the tragic love story of Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose (Kate Winslet) from James Cameron's Oscar-winning(and far too long for my taste) film "Titanic" is a historical fact. Unthinkable!
