They’ll have a dozen of them, with a reservation system. Also an orderly queue to the bow.

Bruce McCall’s Zany Afternoons. It’s fabulous, some of his best work, a lot from National Lampoon. I bought a used paperback copy at Amazon.

Huh. Well, never believe anything anyone writes on Kinja. There was definitely a ship of some sort of similar vintage that’s having work done on it. I may have just assumed the sister ship bit.

I took The Australis from Melbourne to the UK in 1975 and IIRC it had two pools, one indoor. Both pools had waves, caused by the motion of the ship.

How many bows will it have, for re-enactment purposes?

At the slightly larger scale, they should be large enough for two to float on. Although
 Americans have scaled up in the interval, also
 hmmm

Don’t hold your breath for this. People have been “just about to begin” building a new Titanic for quite some time now
