15．Just weeks after a special memorial voyage to mark the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic，an Australian billionaire has announced plans to build an exact replica（复制品） of the Titanic，which is just as similar to the original one as possible．The Titanic replica will make its first voyage from Southampton，England to New York in 2016．
The Titanic is a famous ship that sank in 1912．The attractive story of the ocean liner（邮轮） has made millions of people interested in it around the world．It was believed to be an unsinkable ship but it hit an iceberg and sank on its first voyage．More than 1，500people died in the sinking of the Titanic，which at the time was the world's largest and most luxurious ocean liner．

When asked whether the new replica would sink，Mr．Palmer replied："Of course it will sink if you put a hole in it．He also added"It will be designed as a modern ship with all the technology to ensure that doesn't happen．"
When Mr．Palmer was asked if he expected his Titanic to be successful，he simply said："At my age，you don't really worry so much about whether you'll make money or lose money on something，but I believe that it is worth building it．"
