SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (Mass Appeal) - An Australian billionaire has decided to build a replica of the infamous Titanic ship.

We headed to the Titanic Historical Society Museum in Indian Orchard and spoke with President and Founder Edward Kamuda to learn more about the Titanic.

Kamuda was invited to attend the party that unveiled the plans for the replica ship. He was able to tell us the interior details, such as Turkish Baths and old fashioned gyms, if you want the 1912's feel. If not, the back of the ship will have all the modrn conviences.

The ship will sail the same path the orignal did and should be completed in 2016; and for those who are worried the ship will follow all of today's safety regulations and there will be enough life boats for everyone.
