| Trivia | The legend of the ghost ship, the Mary Celeste, found adrift in 1872, might have inspired some of the plot line. Many theories have been proposed about what happened, but to this day, no one really knows her true story. See more » |
| Goofs | The $5,000,000 in gold would have weighed nearly 139,000 troy ounces at the price of about $36/oz at the time. That equals over 9,500 pounds or about 4¾ tons - way more that what is shown in the few small boxes in the film. See more » |
