Starring: Kathy Bates, Bill Paxton, Kate Winslet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Billy Zane, Victor Garber, Bernard Hill

Corrected entry: Eric Braeden, playing John Jacob Astor, is shown on boat deck level of the grand staircase when the glass dome collapses from the weight of the water. But when the real Astor's body was found, it was terribly crushed and covered with soot. In all likelihood, he was one of those unfortunates who was caught beneath the falling forward funnel. (02:29:05)

Correction: It is not known how JJ Astor died. Check out this page for more details: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Carpathia/page12.htm.

Corrected entry: When the liferaft with the officers aboard returns to try and search for survivors in the water, one Officer shout's, 'Is anyone alive out there?' There is a distinct echoing. However, with just a flat ocean surely there is nothing to provide an echo of his voice.

Correction: Yes, there is - the iceberg.

Mistakes

Factual error: The lake that Jack told Rose he went ice fishing on when she was threatening to jump is Lake Wissota, a man-made lake in Wisconsin near Chippewa Falls (where Jack grew up). The lake was only filled with water in 1918 when a power company built a dam on the Chippewa River, six years after the Titanic sank. (00:39:05)

Quotes

Lewis Bodine: We never found anything on Jack. There's no record of him at all.
Rose Calvert: No, there wouldn't be, would there? And I've never spoken of him until now. Not to anyone, not even your grandfather. A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets. But now you know there was a man named Jack Dawson. And that he saved me. In every way that a person can be saved. I don't even have a picture of him. He exists now, only in my memory.

Questions

Question: During the lunch scene, Ismay says that Titanic was the largest moving object made by man. Was that true? At least, at the time?

Answer: Yes, it was. At the time, the big cruise lines were all trying to outdo each other with the largest and most opulent cruise ships. The Olympic class ships were the White Star Line's entry in the size race, with Olympic, the first built, taking the title in 1911, before losing it to her sister ship, the Titanic, the following year.
