The Tianic cost Approximatley $7.5 million to build, which, according to the west egg inflation calculator, translates to $148,483,990.09 today.

If they would have been it would have come from the British Government as the Titanic was a British Ship.  I know that the Company that owned the Titanic did not as they gave bills to surviving crew members for lost uniforms.  As this happened in 1912 I doubt that anyone expected a government entity to compensate them.

IT HIT AN ICEBERG! It was the biggest ship ever of its time. There weren't enough lifeboats. Lots of people died making it. It was the most expensive ship in the world. the captain died with his ship. The people who evacuated the boat came up with the idea of women and children first. Erm...I don't know much more about it but there you go anyway :P

I'm writing a story kind of like the Titanic.  Its going to be different in many ways.  Instead of it hitting an iceburg, its going to make it to its destination, but when Titanic gets there, people thought it sank because some news reporter messed up the story.

Titanic was the second of three ships built by the White Star Line, the first being the Olympic and the third named Britanic (orginally Gigantic).  They were built side by side at Harland and Wolff in Belfast.  The Titanic's first and last launch left first from Southhampton, England.

Ideally, nothing ☺\nBut if it's been rebuilt, the ways are reasonable straight and parallel, the bed is flat, and the spindle doesn't wobble, I'd guess around $5K or $6K depending on how many mills, tools, collets, etc. are getting thrown in with it.\n\n\nDoug

They would have to take it apart and do it.  But this would not be cost effective.  You can just build a new one, which would be cheaper than taking apart the sears tower, transporting it, the rebuilding it.

Rather than detail such info here, I have gathered several websites to help you on your way. \n \nAs for doing it inexpensively, you can only cut so many expenses, but as you educate yourself on thier general construction and avaialble parts resources; you should be able to id where dollars can be cut back.\n\nIt looks like some wings are available for only $62.00, my estimate for an all told price would be around 200-300.  YOu would need to define your idea of inexpensive to id a possible model for your goal.\n\nI wish you success and fun in your endeavor.  \n\nP.S.  Thanks for mentioning the ZAGI...now I am interested too, they sound like a lot of fun.

The Titanic died in the original. How do you have a Titanic2?

Perhaps you can picture it this way.  Take your 2,000 ton ship and melt it down and use it to make a very large solid steel cube.  Mearsure the cube and obtain an equal cube of water (say frozen into ice?).  Place the two cubes on opposite ends of a giant seasaw.  The steel cube weighs more than an equal volume of water and goes down (sinks!).\n\nTake a second identical steel cube and build a typical ship.  While still in drydock, fill the inside of the ship with water up to the intended water line (based on an identical ship?).  Drain the water out and use it to make another really giant ice cube.  This ice cube will now be much larger than the cube of steel.  Now place the steel cube and the ice cube on the seasaw.  The weight of the water goes down and the steel cube goes up (floats).  The weight (volume) of the water inside the drydocked ship is equal to the weight of water displaced by the ship (shoved aside by the floating ship) and acts upwards on the bottom of the ship with the same force it had on the seasaw.  It is more than enough to make the ship float unless the ship is loaded up until water flows over the side of the ship and floods it.  Hope that helps a little.

Considering the year, they were fairly expensive to build. This website gives exact details.

Overconfidence.Because Titanic hull's made of very thick steel and they thought it was strong enought to deal with little iceberg.\n\nOn the night of Sunday, April 14, the temperature had dropped to near freezing and the ocean was completely calm. Surviving 2nd Officer Charles Lightoller later wrote "the sea was like glass". There was no moon and the sky was clear. Captain Edward Smith, perhaps in response to iceberg warnings received via wireless over the last few days, had altered Titanic's course around 10 miles (18 km) south of the normal shipping route. That Sunday at 1:45 PM, a message from the steamer SS Amerika warned that large icebergs lay south of Titanic's path but the warning was addressed to the USN Hydrographic office and was never relayed to the bridge. Iceberg warnings were received throughout the day and were quite normal for that time of year. Later that evening at 9:30pm, another report of numerous, large icebergs in Titanic's path came to Jack Phillips and Harold Bride in the radio room, this time from the Mesaba, but also failed to reach the bridge. Although there were warnings, there was no operational and safety reason to slow down or alter course. The Titanic had three teams of two lookouts high up in the "Crow's nest" who rotated every two hours. On any other night, it is almost certain they would have been able to see the berg in time. With no moon, no wind and the dark side of the berg facing the ship, a conglomeration of factors that might occur once in a lifetime came together. Had they spotted the iceberg 10 seconds later or 10 seconds earlier or even had simply hit it straight on, the ship likely would not have foundered. As Lightoller later said at the American inquiry "Everything was against us that night."\n\nAt 11:40 PM while sailing south of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, lookouts Frederick Fleet and Reginald Lee spotted a large iceberg directly ahead of the ship. Fleet sounded the ship's bell three times and telephoned the bridge. Sixth Officer Moody answered, "Yes, what do you see?", only to hear Fleet exclaiming, "Iceberg, right ahead!", to which Moody responded, "thank you", before informing First Officer Murdoch of the call. Murdoch (who had now already seen the iceberg) ordered an abrupt turn to port (left) and full speed astern, which stopped and then reversed the ship's reciprocating engines driving the wing propellers (the center shaft stopped as the turbine was not reversible. In reverse configuration the residual steam from the reciprocating engines was channeled directly to the condensers). A collision turned out to be inevitable, and the ship's starboard (right) side brushed the iceberg, buckling the hull in several places and popping out rivets below the waterline, creating a total of six leaks in the first five watertight compartments. The 5th compartment was breeched for only 10-15 feet. Murdoch then ordered the ship hard right rudder which swung Titanic's stern away from the iceberg. The watertight doors were shut as water started filling the five compartments --one more than Titanic could stay afloat with. Captain Smith, alerted by the jolt of the impact, ordered "all-stop" once he arrived on the bridge. Following an inspection by the ship's senior officers, the ship's carpenter and Thomas Andrews, which included a survey of the half flooded two-deck postel room, it was apparent that the Titanic would sink. 45 minutes after the collision, at approximetly 12:30pm the Captain ordered the lifeboats prepped. At approximetly 12:45pm, a full hour after the collision, the first white distress rocket was fired by 4th Officer Joseph Boxhall.

for a model of a ship from the 1400 you can look into any kind of painting from that period showing ships.for building a float-able model you can use polystyrene(the white light stuff used to protect a new TV in her box for example)you take a cube of this and with a sharp cutter carve the form of the ship out of it.then some paint and imagination will do the rest.oh,in order to make it float straight you must make it as symmetrical as possible and add some weight on the lower part.a long nail or screw will do f.e.

I know in Sweden, when they made the Mälarbanan, they said the cost of the system was about 1 million Swedish Kronor per Km. The main cost of the railroad was a few major new bridges and some minor cutting through the hills. \nIf you are planing to make a road between 2 cities where you have a big mountain in between, then the cost of the tunnel will be the main cost. So, you can not say that it costs X amount of money to do something, there are 100s of different issue you have to think of.

At the current rate of rusting of the Titanic, in about 50 years there won't be much of the ship left. Right now the so called gold it has in it is in the lower holds. They cannot be gotten too. If they could, the french company that has been diving on and looting it, would have gotten it already. When the ship is all rusted away the gold should be sitting in the open, ready for the taking.\n\nGood luck.
