This is the first Titanic film to show the Titanic splitting in half at a shallow angle. New research has indicated that the Titanic split in half at a lower angle than once thought and not at the high angle depicted in James Cameron's 1997 film.
A first class parlor suite on the RMS Titanic cost $4,350 in 1912. That would be more than $105,000 in 2016 dollars.
This is the first Titanic film to show John Jacob Astor's death accurately. He was crushed to death when the Titanic's first funnel collapsed. James Cameron's 1997 film showed him in the Grand Staircase when the dome collapsed and water flooded in, which occurs in that film moments after the first funnel collapsed.
Famous American author Morgan Robertson published a novella titled "The Wreck of the Titan" (1898). It is a fictional story about a large passenger liner that struck an iceberg while sailing in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Ironically, the storyline in Robertson's book contains very striking resemblances to the events of the RMS Titanic, despite its having been written fourteen years earlier.
