A controversial £110m full-scale replica of the Titanic has become a rust bucket in China.
The imitation boat has been beset by delays after scrapping plans to recreate the tragic iceberg crash in a simulation following backlash from the families of the original vessel's victims.
The model ship has now been docked at the landlocked theme park in the Sichuan Province for seven years, the Sun reports.
Investor Su Shaojun was inspired to create the "museum" after the 1997 film, starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, based on the ill-fated cruise liner was a hit in China.
The Titanic replica was explicitly modelled off of the first White Star ship which took just over 12 months to build.
It is anchored in the Romandisea Seven Star International Culture Tourism Resort boasting banquet halls, theaters, observation platforms, and pools, the design team planned to "get it as close as we can" to the original.
Guests were also set to enjoy an evening on the boat while being provided a "five-star cruise service" with a functioning steam engine to simulate an experience at sea.
Recent images of the Romandisea Titanic suggest it has been left to rot since it was initially due to be completed at the end of 2017.

Many locals criticised the production as a "waste of money" after Seven Star Energy Investment and Wuchang Shipbuilding splashed out £110million on the clone.
There are fears it will join the ship graveyard alongside other failed replicas, such as the imitation of the USS Enterprise.
Its website says the Romandisea Titanic will be finalised by the end of this year.

Chief executive Su Shaojin previously defended the project after it was branded "poor taste" by relatives of the victims of the doomed ship.
He said: "It's not like a certain country owns this thing. Just like the US can make Kung Fu Panda and that's very common. Same with Mulan.
"For China, the Titanic represents something of universal value."
It’s been over a hundred years since over 1500 people were killed when the 269m long Belfast-built Titanic collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic ocean.
The ship had embarked from Southampton and was on its way to New York when the terrifying events unfolded.
