Halifax has long held a historic connection to one of the greatest marine disasters following the sinking of RMS Titanic in 1912. Not only did the Mayflower Curling Club act as a temporary morgue, the city is also the final resting place for many of the passengers. Parts of James Cameron's 1997 film about the disaster, was shot in Halifax including the Fairview Lawn Cemetery. And now, 110 years later, a Halifax-based business development group is proposing something being described as a Titanic Experience replica ship, restaurant and aquarium. Clark Squires says he had posted about it on his LinkedIn page when it was gained traction and launched a flurry of media requests. He discusses the beginnings of the $300-million project and how they plan to address the sensitivities around "disaster tourism" and how they plan to pay for it.
