True, this time he bore the proud name "Titanic II" and was not a huge liner, but a rather small pleasure yacht
The unfortunate owner of the ship's name is Mark Wilkinson and he has already been gotten by the pranksters, each time recognizing the name of the yacht asking where he managed to meet the iceberg.
The Titanic II, like its famous namesake, sank shortly after it was first launched. It happened in the harbor of West Bay, in Dorset. Somehow, after launching, the yacht was damaged and leaked. The owner tried to pump out the water himself, but failed and he had to call for help. Fortunately, they heard him in time and managed to save him.
The funny thing is that the "Titanic II" went into the water stern forward halfway and stuck out in the same position as the famous ship from Cameron's film. Subsequently, the yacht was pulled out.
Accidents with ships bearing the name "Titanic" happen with enviable mystical periodicity. just recently, in 2010, another yacht, the Titanic, was rescued in the Caribbean. And before that there were at least two more similar precedents.
