Man builds seaworthy small replica of Titanic
"First I got a phone call asking if I had the radio on, and it was a lady, my neighbor, telling me that people were talking about it on the radio," Koch said. "I guess there was a lot of skeptics, when they said the Titanic was out in the middle of the lake they didn't really know what to say."
The wood and fiberglass replica of the Titanic is now parked in front of Koch's Metairie house. The deep sea diver said it weighs about 2,000 pounds at 23-feet long, 5-feet wide and about 9-feet tall.
