Factual error: In the intro before the title, the bridge of the Cayuga is shown, intercut with photos of another ship supposedly about to run into her. We see the starboard side of a vessel and later a blurry long-shot of a ship approaching. In both shots, the running lights are the wrong way around. The starboard light should be green and the port light red but the first shot shows the starboard light as red and both left and right wrong in the shot of the oncoming ship. (00:00:52 - 00:01:50)
