Titanic II’s Advisory Board

Clive Palmer

Early on in the Titanic II project (2012), Clive Palmer, formed A ‘Titanic II advisory board’.

Palmer said that: “the board was formed to provide suggestions and recommendations to Blue Star Line to ensure the Titanic II appropriately and respectfully pays homage to Titanic, her crew and passengers.”

Blue Star Line announced that Titanic expert Steve Hall had been appointed as Design Consultant and Historian for the project, and that Titanic interiors expert Daniel Klistorner had been appointed as Interior Design Consultant and Historian

Other members include: Terry Ismay, the great-great nephew of White Star Line chairman and Titanic survivor J. Bruce Ismay, as well as Helen Benziger, great-granddaughter of Titanic survivor Margaret Brown, better known as the “Unsinkable Molly Brown”.

Philip Littlejohn has also joined the board. Philip is the grandson of Alexander Littlejohn, a first class cabin steward, who survived the 1912 sinking of the Titanic after being ordered to row Lifeboat 13. Lifeboat 13 is well known as the lifeboat that contained the youngest survivor, Millvina Dean.
