Hurricane Sandy Causes Rescheduling Of Titanic II Launch |
||||||||||||||||
 The
global launch of Titanic II scheduled for December 4, 2012, on the retired
aircraft carrier USS Intrepid in New York will be rescheduled for early 2013 as
a mark of respect to the victims of Hurricane Sandy.Blue Star Line Chairman Professor Clive Palmer said Hurricane Sandy caused serious damage to New York and loss of life. He said he would reschedule the launch to late February, 2013, while other Titanic II events due to be held in London and Southampton in England, Boston in the United States, Nova Scotia in Canada and in Macau have also been postponed until that time. “Mayor Michael Bloomberg cancelled the city’s world renowned New York Marathon last weekend as he didn’t want a cloud to hang over the event in the wake of the hurricane and the damage it inflicted,” Professor Palmer said. “New York had a close relationship with the original RMS Titanic and the shipping company White Star Line and we believe it is too early to be holding our launch while the city and the region continues its recovery.” Dates for the rescheduled Titanic II events will be released in the next few weeks. Titanic II has captured the world’s imagination since Professor Palmer announced that his shipping company, Blue Star Line, would recreate the famous ship in honor of the 100 year anniversary of the launch and untimely fate of The Titanic. While every bit as luxurious as her namesake, Titanic II will have every modern amenity along with 21st century technology and the latest navigation and safety systems. |
