<HTML>About \"Titanic\" there are two options: to build a look-alike liner with modern technology (i.e. plate soldering and gas turbines) or make the fourth one (She was the second of a batch of three). Just think how much it would cost today to put all those rivets in place and man the boilers with stokers that feed them with coal...and what about those bulkheads, should they be made too short again?
Anyway if one tycoon does that, licensing problems will be his last concern...when you do have million$ (in dollar$) regulations bend otherwise the flags of convenience are happy to oblige.
The same options are open to anybody willing to reproduce an U-boat, but maybe somebody could try a midget one…for personal use.
