Factual error: In real life, the Titanic first rolled over, broke and sank but here, it does not break.
Suggested correction: Until the wreckage was discovered in 1985, it was generally believed that the Titanic was intact when it sank. The movie is accurate based on what was known at the time.
Factual error: When the ship sinks it lamely slips into the water at a low angle. Somewhat of an anti-climax. Contrary to some reports, even at the time the film was made it was known that part of the ship upended at 45 degrees and sank vertically. I discovered this when I listened to an eyewitness account which is a permanent fixture at the British Library.
Closing crawl: But this is not the end of the story - -For their sacrifice was not in vain. Today there are lifeboats for all, unceasing radio vigil and, in the North Atlantic, the International Ice Patrol guards the sea lanes, making them safe for the peoples of the world.
