If you can imagine the ship in this image as being only 16 feet long instead of 900 feet long, and with only one person on board instead of more than 2,000, and sinking in a balmy English harbor instead of the icy waters off of Newfoundland, then you can pretty much envision what happened to the Titanic II.Most people would think twice before buying a boat named Titanic II. And, sure enough, when Briton Mark Wilkinson took the 4.8-metre cabin cruiser out for its maiden voyage, it promptly sank."If it wasn't for the harbourmaster I would have gone down with the Titanic," Mr Wilkinson, who had to be fished out of the sea at West Bay harbour in Dorset, southern England, told local media."It's all a bit embarrassing and I got pretty fed up with people asking me if I had hit an iceberg."
