The Romandisea Titanic is an unfinished full-scale replica of the RMS Titanic, that is located in landlocked Sichuan province, China. The project was first reported in October 2013[2] and formally launched in January 2014.[3] The ship was to be the same size as the original Olympic-class ocean liner Titanic.[4] The replica vessel was anticipated to be the centerpiece of the Romandisea resort and would have included overnight hotel accommodations.[5] It was to be permanently docked in a reservoir on the Qijiang River, a tributary of the Fu River, at coordinates 30°37′42″N 105°13′19″E / 30.6282°N 105.2220°E in Sichuan's rural Daying County.[6][7]
