Trivia

The scene on the foredeck where the Captain and the passengers were dancing, and the scene in the ballroom, was a common tradition at the time near the end of a trans-Atlantic voyage. These were usually held as the ship approached the end of the trip, near the coast and these Balls were called the "Captain's Ball". See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: Maritime law on salvage at sea is not "finders, keepers" as stated. The amount awarded to the finders by a salvage court is typically a percentage of the value of the ship and cargo. See more »

Quotes

Greer: I can't hold her much longer, Murph. Port bow is heeling. She's taking on way too much water.

Crazy Credits

The opening logos are tinted brown, and the typical Warner Bros. logo is
instead an intentionally chintzy 60s style logo. All this ties into the
infamous cruise ship opening. See more »
