Goofs

(at around 34 mins) Rose mentions Sigmund Freud's ideas on the male preoccupation with size to Bruce. Freud did not publish the work relating to this until 1920 in "The Pleasure Principle." Also, up until 1919, Freud relied solely on data from females.

(at around 3h) When Rose is arriving in New York, she looks at the Statue of Liberty, which is the same color as now (copper green). But if you visit the Statue of Liberty, we'll find a plate telling us that the original color was brown, and it took over 35 years for it to change color. The Statue of Liberty was established there in 1886, so in 1912 it should have still been partly brown. Also, the flame was replaced in 1986 (for its 100th anniversary) with a gold flame. The film shows the Statue holding a torch with a gold flame, not the original.

(at around 1h 29 mins) Rose has modern acrylic nails as she writes the note to Cal that accompanies the drawing.

The gauges in the engine room are fitted with sweated tubing fittings, a plumbing technique not available when the ship was constructed. The fittings should have been threaded brass.

(at around 1h 7 mins) The tune that Jack and Rose dance to on steerage is called "Hills of Connemara", written by Sean McCarthy, who was born in 1923, 11 years after the Titanic sank. Admittedly, however, he could have composed on musical themes already in circulation.

Rose displays a collection of paintings in her cabin including Claude Monet's ,'Water Lillies', Pablo Picasso's ''Les Demoiselles d'Avignon' Picasso's 'The Great Player' which are still in existence in galleries, but one is Picasso's 'The Guitar Player' which had't been painted when the ship sank.

(at around 1h 50 mins) When Jack is handcuffed to the steel pipes at the Master-at-Arms' office, the pipe fittings are of welded steel construction. Electric arc welding was not used until the late 1920s. Pipes would have been flanged and threaded instead.

The button on the left side of Jack's borrowed jacket is a Kingsdrew button, first made in 1922.

(at around 1h 19 mins) When Rose and her mother are at tea on the last Sunday of the voyage, Mrs. DeWitt-Bukater can be heard complaining to the other ladies about Rose's selection for bridesmaids' dresses and the color. She can be heard to reference the "daughter of the Duchess of Marlborough". In 1912, the Duchess of Marlborough was American débutante Consuelo Vanderbilt Marlborough who was the first wife to the Ninth Duke of Marlborough whom she married in November of 1895. When the Duke and Duchess separated in 1906, they were not formally divorced until 1921. In 1912, Consuelo Vanderbilt Marlborough was still the Duchess of Marlborough of record. As such, she and the Duke had two sons but no daughters, and neither of their sons was of marriageable age in 1912 and the eldest son, John Spencer-Churchill, the Tenth Duke of Marlborough did not inherit the dukedom until 1934.

The pipe frames supporting the third-class berths have set-screw speed rail fittings, which not developed until 1946.

A close-up of Captain Smith reveals that he is wearing modern contact lenses.

(at around 1h 45 mins) Jack Phillips, the radio operator, used both the older CQD and the newer SOS. He added SOS at the suggestion of Harold Bride, the assistant operator, according to Snopes; other ships had already used it.

After Jack completes his drawing of Rose, the orchestra can be heard faintly playing The Lark Ascending in the background. This piece wasn't written until 1914 and not played publicly until 1920.

(at around 1h 40 mins) After the collision with the iceberg, the Captain orders all engines stopped. However, the telegraph bells are only heard once, meaning that the other engine would still be in full reverse, which clearly isn't.

(at around 49 mins) While on deck, Jack asks Rose, "Do you love the guy or not?" The shot changes to show Rose's reaction. Jack's jaw can be seen moving, as if he's repeating the question, but he's not heard.

(at around 1h 45 mins) After Cal has slapped Rose across the face, one of the stewards comes in and tells them to put their lifebelts on, he says, "Dress warmly, it's quite cold out tonight. May I suggest top coats and hats?" But his mouth stops moving before he says, "and hats?"

(at around 28 mins) When they find their rooms in steerage and Jack introduces himself to the two Swedish men, Fab takes the top bunk. Jack turns to Fab and says "Who says you get top bunk, huh?" but his mouth never moves then or later to actually say it.

(at around 2h 10 mins) Second Officer Lightoller shouts, "Hold on to her! Pull her in!" when a woman ready to board a lifeboat is accidentally pushed overboard, yet his mouth does not move.

(at around 1h 11 mins) In the open matte 3D version of the film, Cal tells Rose that she is his wife if not yet practiced by law and that she'll honor him. When he says "so you will," a shadow of the boom mic is visible.

(at around 15 mins) At the beginning of the movie, Lizzy questions her grandmother's claim that she is the woman in the drawing, Rose Dewitt Bukater. However, the photographs of Old Rose's life at the end of the movie show her younger and with an uncanny resemblance to the appearance of the woman in the drawing. It seems strange that Lizzy would never have looked at photos of her grandmother's life before, if she did, she would certainly have noticed the similarity. Lizzy even helped her grandmother unpack the pictures in their stateroom when they arrived on the Keldysh, but apparently didn't even notice the similarity then either.

Someone getting into a lifeboat is wearing a digital watch.

(at around 15 mins) After first seeing her drawing aboard the Mstislav Keldysh, "Old Rose" claims to have worn the necklace with the "Heart of The Ocean" only once while on Titanic, referring to her wearing it for the drawing. This was actually the second time - the first was in her stateroom following her attempt to jump from the ship, as Cal puts it on her to placate her.

Captain Smith was entitled to the Royal Naval Reserve (RNR) Decoration (the RD) and the Transport Medal. The actor is wearing the RD suspended from the ribbon of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve (RNVR) Long Service and Good Conduct Medal. His Transport Medal is in fact the Royal Naval Long Service and Good Conduct Medal.

(at around 9 mins) Brock tried to broadcast his finding of the "Heart of the Ocean" jewel live. When the safe was opened and the diamond necklace found to be missing, his colleague remarks, "The same thing happened to Geraldo Rivera, and his career never recovered", a reference to his one off show, The Mystery of Al Capone's Vaults. Whilst Geraldo never worked in news reporting again, his career did recover but in a different direction, he reinvented himself with a successful career in tabloid entertainment, including his own talk show, The Geraldo Rivera Show.

At the end just before Murdoch shoots Tommy, Tommy uses the word "Limey". Limey is an American term for the British and its unlikely like Tommy, who's Irish and never been to America, would know such a term.

(at around 1h 40 mins) When Mr. Andrews is summoned to the bridge, he leaves his room (A Deck) and is seen walking along a B Deck corridor. This route would take him on a long detour to get to the bridge as opposed to simply walking up the promenade deck to and ascending a flight of stairs.

(at around 56 mins) After the first-class dinner is announced, Rose says "see you at dinner, Jack", presumably without a hint of irony. However, given Jack's tramp-like appearance it would have been obvious to her that he would never have passed for a first-class passenger, thus being denied entry to the restaurant in question.

(at around 59 mins) Rose says to Jack that Madeleine Astor is her age. Madeleine Astor was 19 when she was aboard Titanic while Rose is 17 (though Kate Winslet was 19-20 years old at the time of shooting).

After the sinking, only Jack and Rose are shivering in the ocean.

(at around 1h) Jack takes Rose and Molly's arms to escort them to dinner. They start walking, but in the next shot, they are still standing apart.

When Jack and Rose first meet at the stern, Rose is clearly wearing jeweled, slip-on shoes and black stockings. However, when she is lying on the deck after Jack rescues her, she is wearing red lace up boots instead.

At the first class dinner scene and the party scene below decks that follows, Rose's gloves disappear, reappear, then disappear again.

(at around 30 mins) After the Titanic sets off to the open sea, we can see Chief Engineer Bell increasing steam pressure by turning the regulator counterclockwise. Later, during the collision with the iceberg (at around 1h 35 mins), we can see some worker decreasing pressure by starting to turn the regulator clockwise, yet in next shot, he is turning the regulator counterclockwise, still decreasing the pressure. Several shots later, after change to reverse, Bell is increasing pressure by turning the regulator clockwise.

(at around 1h 35 mins) When Murdoch orders "full astern", he moves the engine order telegraph three times before he sets it on the desired speed. Three rings on the order telegraph indicates to the engine crew that an urgent speed change is needed, rather than the usual single ring. When the camera cuts to the engine room, only one ring is heard.

(at around 29 mins) When Captain Smith orders, "Take her to sea, Mr. Murdoch - let's stretch her legs," they are standing to the right of the wheelhouse looking forward with the sun coming from their left. When Murdoch walks into the wheelhouse to carry out the order, the sun is behind him.

(at around 21 mins) When the Titanic is in port, the sun appears to come from several different angles. Compare the following: The shadow of the crewman loading the car, the shadows of people walking the gangplank, the shadow of the sun's rays in the steam, the shadows that Rose's family cast on the gangplank, and the sunlight on the yellow building when they first enter Titanic.

(at around 1h 30 mins) When Jack helps Rose into the Renault before they have sex, two roses are seen in a glass vase on the car's wall; when she pulls Jack into the back of the car with her, the roses and vase are gone.

(at around 36 mins) When Jack sees Rose for the first time on deck, the scar next to his right eye is now on his left - a sign that the image was flopped.

(at around 10 mins) When old Rose and her Lizzy are at their home, their Pomeranian is brown. When Rose is being lifted down from the helicopter, and when she is in her stateroom unpacking, the Pomeranian is white.

In the beginning of the movie, when the old Rose is getting off, she is wearing a specific pair of earrings. In the next few scenes, the earrings change. After the story unfolds, they've changed back to the original pair in the scenes where she appears, including the end.

(at around 1h 40 mins) The last watertight door that is shown is at first pale, then suddenly it gets dark, and it goes pale again when it closes.

(at around 18 mins) When Lewis Bodine talks about when the Titanic hit the iceberg, he wears a shirt with the yellow Watchmen's Smiley Face. Later, during Rose's story, when he says that Captain Smith has the iceberg warning "in his fucking hand" (at around 1h 23 mins), he wears a completely different shirt.

The safe that was opened on deck was much bigger than the one shown on the real Titanic.

(at around 47 mins) When Jack and Rose are walking on the boat deck, the sunlight changes from being on their side to behind them.

(at around 17 mins) Old Rose's hands on the butterfly clip change position in between shots.

(at around 1h 26 mins) When Rose first lies down for her drawing, the Heart of the Ocean is crooked, with its bottom point pointing sharply to Rose's left. It straightens between shots, after Jack tells her what to do with her hands. The chain is still slightly crooked but the Heart itself is lying straight.

(at around 2h 15 mins) When Rose is in the lowering lifeboat looking up at Jack the smokestack behind him is lit, but in the next scene it isn't.

(at around 1h 45 mins) On the scene back into Rose's cabin, after Lovejoy slips the diamond into Jack's pocket, Jack's left hand in his trouser pocket changes from having the thumb in/out of it between shots.

(at around 2h 5 mins) When Tommy yells, "You can't keep us locked in here like animals, the ship's bloody sinking!" his right hand is grabbing the gate at head level. The next shot shows Tommy with his right hand down and his left hand grabbing the gate.

(at around 38 mins) When Rose is standing on the Titanic's stern during her attempt to commit suicide, her left hand changes from holding up her dress to just holding onto the railing.

(at around 52 mins) After Ruth and the Countess get up to avoid Molly Brown, Ismay is talking to the Captain about ordering more speed, he folds the note in his hands twice.

(at around 2h) When Rose sets the axe between the bars as she takes off her coat, the axe blade rests against two metal bars to prevent it from falling into the water. The next shot showing Rose from behind now shows the axe at a completely different angle with the blade positioned against only one metal bar, straight into the rising water.

The length of Rose's fingernails changes throughout the movie.

(at around 11 mins) The size and shape of the clay pot old Rose is making.

There is a small mole on Rose's face; when she boards the ship, it is shown on one side of her face (the film was flopped), and later in the movie it jumps to the other side.

The pistol Mr. Lovejoy has is a custom Colt M1911. Colt did not make a model for civilian usage until August 1912. In August 1912 there were only 100 civilian model M1911s produced for select members of the National Rifle Association. The ship sank in April 1912, four months before the civilian release of the M1911.

(at around 12 mins) When Bobby tells Brock "Trust me, buddy, you'll want to take this call", Bobby's hand jumps from Brock's shoulder in-between shots.

(at around 2h 25 mins) Paper money wad that First Officer Murdoch throws at Cal changes.

(at around 1h 16 mins) Just before Jack "borrows/steals" the jacket on the 1st class deck we see a little boy playing with a spinning top. Between one camera angle and the next we see him throw the top down twice.

(at around 1h 4 mins) When the dinner party is breaking up, Cal tosses a wrapped lighter to Jack. Cal then passes Jack's shoulder twice as he's throwing the lighter.

(at around 13 mins) When Lovett and Bodine are walking along deck talking about Rose, when Bodine says she worked as an actress, they walk past a wall with a no smoking sign on it. In the next shot, they are in the same place, but the wall is gone.

(at around 50 mins) When Rose is on deck with Jack looking at his sketchings, the hair around her face alternates between perfect ringlets and wind-blown straight.

(at around 1h 6 mins) When Jack asks Rose to dance, Rose's hands change position from in her lap to on the table in-between shots.

(at around 1h 10 mins) As Rose and Cal begin their breakfast together on the promenade deck the morning after the third-class dance, Rose picks up her cup of coffee, then picks it up again when we see her from behind.

(at around 1h 26 mins) The hands sketching Rose are clearly too old to belong to Jack. (They actually belong to director James Cameron).

(at around 1h 40 mins) Just after the collision, as Captain Smith walks to the starboard bridge-wing to look over the side to inspect the damage, the camera's shadow is visible in the bottom-left corner.

(at around 47 mins) While Jack is telling Rose about his childhood, the camera moves from a shot of the ship to a shot of them walking along the deck. We can see shadows of heaps of equipment and people moving along the ship as the lights move.

When the Titanic is sinking and the lead characters run through the ship a camera crew can be seen through one of the windows.

(at around 47 mins) When Rose and Jack are on the first-class promenade, where she is thanking him from saving her from jumping from the stern, the camera's shadow is visible on the wall.

(at around 1h 30 mins) Reflected in a brass panel on the front of the Renault that Jack and Rose discover in the cargo hold.

(at around 48 mins) While walking on the deck the day after Jack rescues Rose, just before she shows him her ring, if we look over the ship's rail, we can see waves coming into shore.

An overhead shot of the ship on its way to New York shows the shadows of the masts falling to the left, but the sun is shining from the left (=south) also.

(at around 1h 21 mins) When Rose "flies" from the ship's bow, the sunlight is clearly falling almost exactly straight across the ship from left to right. On the evening of April 14, the ship had in fact turned to almost a due west course, placing the actual setting sun almost straight ahead and slightly to the right.

(at around 46 mins) The blue diamond "Le Coeur de la Mer" is stated as having 56 carats which would put its weight at 56 * 0.2 = 11.2 grams, which would be much too light for a diamond this size.

Passengers were not allowed at the forecastle head, or bow. The sign that declared "Passengers Not Allowed Beyond This Point" was mounted on the leeward side of the forward breakwater (both port and starboard), and was missing in the film.

(at around 27 mins) The Titanic's middle propeller was powered by a Parsons steam turbine, which ran off expelled steam from the two main reciprocating engines. This meant that the turbine could only run when a full head of steam had been generated. It would not and could not have been used for maneuvering in port. Hence, the middle propeller would have been stationary when starting away from the dock.

The crew of lifeboat #14 didn't have flashlights to use when looking for survivors in the water. James Cameron knew this when making the film, but used the flashlights to provide lighting anyway.

(at around 1h 9 mins) In the Third Class Common Room, 17 year-old Rose demonstrates her ballet skills, standing on point. She says she hadn't done it in a long time. Young ballet dancers are not allowed to go "en pointe" until after adolescence, when their feet have fully formed. Therefore, she could not - or should not have done it - previously as it might have injured her feet.

(at around 1h 16 mins) Captain Smith announces that he has ordered the last remaining unlit boilers lit. Actually only 24 of the 29 boilers were ever lit. The full-speed test (all boilers lit) was to have taken place on Monday, the 15th.

(at around 2h 35 mins) Shortly before Titanic's break-up, we see Charles Lightoller (Jonny Phillips) clinging to an overturned lifeboat. Charles Herbert Lightoller actually went into the water just after the fall of Murdoch. He was either attempting to hide the suicide or a rescue. The suction of the ship pulled him down and Lightoller was underwater at the time of the breakup. He was freed when a boiler exploded and the warm air freed him from the suction, thus saving his life. He surfaced just as Titanic's stern was sinking. Lightoller did indeed believe the ship had sunk intact. Lightoller died in December of 1952; thirty-three years before the Titanic wreck was located (1985).

(at around 1h 45 mins) In the first shot of the lifeboats lowering during the sinking, one of the boats has "S.S. TITANIC" painted on its bow. Although the ship was designated as "R.M.S. TITANIC" (for Royal Mail Steamship or Steamer) the lifeboats were indeed marked as "S.S. TITANIC", and several plaques taken from the lifeboats after the disaster have been saved as souvenirs.

(at around 1h 40 mins) When the Titanic hits the iceberg, Thomas Andrews is shown to be in his room going over blueprints and clearly notices that something has happened. Although it is true that Andrews was in his room working on improvements for the ship when the collision occurred, he did not actually feel it himself; the crew actually summoned him.

Colonel Archibald Gracie (played by Bernard Fox) speaks with a British accent, however in real life Gracie was an American born in Alabama.

(at around 27 mins) When Titanic starts up her engines in Southampton, all the props start simultaneously. The steam has to cycle through the two reciprocating engines and the leftover steam is vented into the low-pressure turbine which powers the center prop. There would have been a time delay between the outer and center props. But the center prop wouldn't have been used in disembarking from port anyway; the center prop was only to be used out in the open sea to augment speed. Any excess steam would have been diverted to the condensers at this time.

(at around 19 mins) When old Rose is about to start her story, she looks at videotape of the fireplace on the monitor. In the shot is "Snoop Dog", the submersible. "Duncan", the second submersible, was exploring another part of the wreck and wouldn't have been able to take that shot. It's actually a shot from the movie, having been used just before the safe's discovery.

(at around 1h 55 mins) Rose runs into Andrews, who gives her directions on how to reach Jack. The directions he gives her do not correspond to the real deck plan on RMS Titanic; it would have led her to nowhere other than the Master-at-Arms' office.

(at around 1h 45 mins) Professional radio operators hold the key with their thumbs and first two fingers, rather than tapping on it as shown. Tapping would have produced a bad "fist" (the Morse code equivalent of a harsh voice).

(at around 26 mins) When the dock workers at Southampton cast off Titanic's mooring lines, the heaving lines are still attached to her mooring lines. The smaller heaving lines are used only to pull a ship's larger mooring lines down to the dock when the ship arrives. Then, only the ship's mooring lines are fastened to the dock or are cast off when she departs.

The reciprocating engines were controlled from a platform between the two engines about midway between the floor and the top of the cylinders, not from the engine room floor. Even if the engines were controlled from the floor level the controls would have been at the opposite end of the engines since we are looking at the aft end of the engines, and the boiler rooms are forward of the reciprocating engine room. Also, it would have been quite impossible to see those engines from the vantage point we are given since the watertight bulkhead between the reciprocating engine room and turbine engine room would prevent us from being able to stand back far enough.

Almost lost in the drama of the sinking is the fact that Rose's maid Trudy unfortunately does not survive the sinking. This is brought up in the narration that Titanic historians Ken Marshall and Don Lynch do for the film's DVD release. It's easy to miss Trudy's demise, as she doesn't receive much screen time and thus is not that recognizable, but Trudy is the woman seen during the sinking hanging on to a man who apparently says, " Hold on Miss. Trudy," before unfortunately losing his grip causing her to slide down the enclosed promenade deck on the starboard side of the ship and enter the icy debris filled water. This, however, contradicts historical record. Of all woman who traveled in First Class, including servants, only four woman and one child perished. Bess Allison and her two year old daughter Lorraine along with Edith Evans, Ida Strauss and Ann Isham were the only First Class females who did not survive the sinking. Aside from that every other woman in First Class, including all the female servants, survived. (But Trudy was never a real person, so her fate either way wouldn't change anything)

(at around 36 mins) Before Rose attempts suicide, she runs along the A Deck promenade towards the stern. She is then shown to be running out from the second class entrance (B Deck) to the poop-deck. In real life it would've been impossible for her to do this unless she jumped over the railing.

Cal had Jack evicted from the church service since he was a third class passenger. In reality, church services aboard the ship were open to all regardless of class.

The stern section, when visible during the Titanic's launch, is missing a porthole in the white section near the railing.

(at around 23 mins) At the beginning of the movie, when Jack is playing poker with Fabrizio and two others, Fabrizio turns over his hand and says he has nothing ("niente"). However, about 45 seconds earlier, his cards can be seen (when he says "Jack, you are pazzo. You bet everything we have"). He has two sixes in his hand, which would give him a pair.

(at around 2h 45 mins) The lovers cling to the deck rails as the final few feet of the ship plunge into the icy depths then bob up seconds later. In reality the suction of the ship would have dragged them down.

It was very rare for a woman with long hair to wear her hair out long like Rose did in 1912. All photos of women passengers show them with either short or tied up hair.

In many scenes, the water in the corridors\rooms was level and not showing the boat's tilt with the bow(front) being lower.

(at around 1h 40 mins) When the ship passes the iceberg after hitting it, passengers are looking at the iceberg. We can see in the back the rear davit is out. At this point, the only davits out were the front ones.

(at around 2h 5 mins) While searching for Jack in the flooded areas below decks Rose has to immerse herself on water which was 2 degrees centigrade yet she only let out the odd small sigh.

(at around 2h 35 mins) When one of the funnels falls during the sinking the waves it created should had capsized Cal's boat due to the force of the water but this does not happen.

(at around 2h 50 mins) The torches used by the ship's butlers when searching for Rose hadn't been invented at that period of 1912.

(at around 2h 20 mins) When the boat is sinking and Jack and Rose are running down one hallway, each door bursts right after they run past them. You can tell it is fake because room doors were not made to be waterproof and no water is leaking into the hallway under/around the doors; also, for doors to break and release that much water, the rooms would need to be full of water and released - which they were as shown in how they actually filmed the scene.

When Jack tries to see Rose a man stops him and tries to pay him.

You can see the bill he pulls out is either a Series of 1914 or Series of 1918 Large Currency Bill.

Those were not printed until 1913.

(at around 1h 30 mins) Jack and Rose manage to get into the boiler rooms and cargo hold. There was no way that would be allowed in real life as it is strictly forbidden and dangerous as a stoker pointed out.

The victims including Fabrizio during the sinking seem able to swim in the water with ease but considering the water was below freezing the passengers and crew in the water should had been struggling to swim in cold conditions.

Only three fireworks are seen being launched during the sinking. In real life more fireworks were launched in a fruitless attempt to contact other ships including the Californian which was allegedly several miles away. However it is possible more were fired while Jack and Rose were trying to find a way to the boat deck.

(at around 36 mins) When Rose is considering jumping off the ship toward the beginning of the movie, she is not wearing the necklace she had on at dinner. Her hair is also different. In fact, there was a scene that was cut from the movie where Rose runs back to the parlor suite, tears off her necklace, lets her hair down, and in a fit of rage, destroys some of the items in her bedroom before running to the stern to attempt suicide.

All accounts of the sinking by survivors report that the lights went out, flickered back on for a second, then went out for good before the ship broke in two, all of which is correctly shown in the movie. In fact, many survivors disputed that the ship broke apart at all before sinking. Naturally, when the lights go out that quickly not everyone's eyes adjusted to the dark fast enough. Even though it has since been proven that the ship did break apart before sinking, one would imagine that there would be no room for dispute if the lights had stayed on until the ship broke.

(at around 53 mins) There were a number of roller coasters in Santa Monica as early as 1904; in any case, Jack tends to embellish his stories to make his point.

Although the Titanic's fourth smokestack was not an exhaust avenue for the ship's engines, it was used as an outlet for the Titanic's massive kitchen. Since the Titanic used coal stoves, some smoke would have been coming out of the fourth smokestack. In one of the flyover shots of the ship, it is possible to see that most of the top of the fourth smokestack is sealed.

(at around 29 mins) When the ship is shown at night, there appears to be a smaller version of the ship along side it. In fact, this is a tender ship.

(at around 1h 26 mins) When Jack sketches Rose naked, she has shaved underarms, but fashion didn't even start to introduce this trend until 1915. Women at the time of the Titanic sinking would have had hairy armpits, as the woman in Jack's sketchbook did.

(at around 2 mins) When Brock is filming from the inside of the submarine, he's supposed to be well underwater, by the Titanic's wreckage. The light outside the window is coming from the submersible's outside lights.

The painting by Norman Wilkinson in the first-class smoking room is actually an exact reproduction of "Plymouth Harbour," which went down with the Titanic, and not the Olympic's "Approach to the New World," a depiction of New York Harbor. A few years back, black and white sketches of "Plymouth Harbour" were found and an exact copy was painted by his son for the Southampton Maritime Museum. The Museum confirms that the picture as shown is an accurate copy.

(at around 2h 15 mins) When Murdoch finishes loading one of the lifeboats he says "Ready on the left", and "lower away" but doesn't say "Ready on the right". When lowering a lifeboat the officer would say "Ready on the left", "Ready on the right", and finally "Lower away". However, just after he calls "Ready on the left", he turns and sees Bruce Ismay in the lifeboat. Obviously stunned, he pauses before resigning himself to continue, and simply calls "Take them down".

(at around 38 mins) It is often claimed that there is a tattoo visible on Rose's arm when she attempts suicide. It is actually a moon-shaped black dot - some embellishment that has come loose from her robe, clearly visible in closer shots.

(at around 2h 40 mins) In the film, we see Titanic's stern rise to around 45 degrees and splitting in two from the top down with the boat deck ripping apart. However, recent forensic studies by maritime experts at the site of the wreck have all concluded that the hull began to break at a much lower angle of around 23 degrees. However, the ship broke in the middle and not between 3rd and 4th funnel, making the depicted elevation of the rear part of the ship essentially correct. In the film, you can hear the bending movement of the sinking ship; this is metal creaking and beginning to give way. The hull girders (which support the ship's hull) would never have been strong enough to hold half the ship in a vertical angle. However, the film was made well before the most recent forensic studies using the best available information at the time.

(at around 2h 45 mins) Many present day documentaries show by a camera looking down on Rose lying on the left side of the door there more than enough room to have Jack lie on the right side of the door. However, it was established that the combined weight of the two was too much for the door to support.

(at around 2h 40 mins) During the overhead shot of the Titanic splitting in half, a victim slides upwards. If the person was sliding down as the ship broke, their momentum would have allow him to keep sliding.

(at around 56 mins) Molly Brown loans Jack her son's tuxedo so he can have dinner with the first-class crowd. While she did have a son (who would have been 25 at the time), he wasn't a passenger on the Titanic, so it's unclear why she'd have any of his clothing with her on the ship.

Near the end of the movie, when the Titanic is nearly vertical, a man, who is falling off the ship, hits one of the capstans and it bends, showing that it is clearly made of rubber. It is mentioned in the documentary the filming set had a lot of foam props for safety.

(at around 31 mins) During the ship's flyover shot, if we look closely, we see a lady in a burgundy coat walking, but her feet aren't touching the ground, she is floating.

(at around 2h 40 mins) Rose's hair defies the law of gravity when she is atop the sinking ship. Her hair should be hanging down or at least moving in the cold wind as the scene suggests, but it is perfectly still and horizontal in respect to the sinking ship.

(at around 22 mins) When Cal arrives and gets out of his car, he looks ahead in amazement. Except Titanic is visible behind him though the car's door, and from this angle we can see that the entire rear of the ship is just scaffolding.

(at around 21 mins) In order to show the correct side of the ship when it's docked, the image was flipped in post-production. As a result, there are an inordinate number of left-handed people waving from the deck of the ship.

(at around 2h 20 mins) When Cal pursues Rose and Jack into the flooding first class dining room, all the windows are burnt out with bright white light. These are outside windows and it is the middle of the night.

(at around 1h 40 mins) During the iceberg collision when the second watertight door closes, the two stokers seen at the door are reflected against a large mirror used to make the boiler rooms extend.

In the black-and-white shots of the Titanic in port on departure day, there is a shot of a blonde woman in a straw hat leaning over a railing to wave enthusiastically at the dock (she waves towards the Titanic's port side). However, in the color flashback scene of sailing day, this same woman is waving towards the starboard side of the ship (out to sea). The color shot was not reversed during editing.

(at around 1h 40 mins) In the last underwater shot during the collision with the iceberg, an obviously fake hull is visible. The hull is sharply cut, and there is some object behind it.

(at around 33 mins) As the camera pulls back from Jack's "king of the world" shot and performs a flyover of the ship, the officer who comes out to report the ship's speed to Captain Smith walks very uncannily with a very deliberate and exceptionally large gait. This is because, instead of using a live aerial camera to capture the footage, James Cameron chose to use 3D motion capture footage of individual characters performing actions and added them in post production. During the motion capture shoot, the actor playing the officer would have been shot walking without a particular goal or destination in mind.

(at around 2h 40 mins) During the scene of the ship rising vertically immediately after it has split apart, there is a shot of the stern being pulled in by the bow, then there is a close-up shot of the deck at a 45 degree angle. It appears to not be moving (however, passengers are still sliding off), and there is no water on the hull visible.

There is dirt on the lens (right side of screen) during the dining room scene angle on Jack.

(at around 2h 30 mins) When Mr. Andrews is leaning against the fireplace, changing the clock's minute hand when the ship is tilting, the contents in the two glass on the mantle are perfectly still when they should be moving around.

(at around 27 mins) When the Titanic is leaving, the newsreel cameraman is cranking the camera left-handed; hand-cranked cameras are all right-handed, but the scene was filmed mirror-imaged and reversed.

(at around 1h 27 mins) When Jack is drawing the portrait of Rose, she says "I believe you are blushing, Mr. Big Artiste", and we can clearly see nothing on the paper.

Despite hitting an iceberg the interior of Titanic does not appear to be listing until Thomas Andrews is first seen in the smoking room.

When Jack is getting ready to escort Rose to dinner, he kisses her hand. She is wearing white gloves However the sound the kiss makes is that of someone's lips kissing a hand without gloves on.

City lights are visible at one point when Jack and Rose are out on the deck as the ship is sinking.

(at around 2h 10 mins) As passengers were climbing into lifeboats and the ship's officer was loading the Webley pistol, the first round inserted into the cylinder clearly had a firing pin indentation in the primer. This is standard protocol when using dummy rounds as props.

(at around 2h 20 mins) When the doors burst open and a flood of water engulfs the father and son in the E-Deck corridor, the railings to the left and right of the screen appear rubbery and bounce when the father's suitcase and the water come in contact with it.

(at around 2h 30 mins) Repeat Footage: As the band is playing "Nearer My God To Thee" just after Cal hands the child to someone else in the lifeboat, there is a shot facing the flooding deck with passengers scattered around. The same shot is shown after the band finish playing, straight after we last see Captain Smith when the water breaks through the windows leaving him to drown.

(at around 2h 25 mins) The scene in which Benjamin Guggenheim declares he intends to go down as a gentleman is mirrored. The cherub figurine on the Grand Staircase is holding the light to its right side. In the rest of the film, it's correctly holding the light to its left side.
