Rights to that film were purchased by James Cameron to avoid any copyright problems.The only change in the true facts which I found disturbing was that some of the undersea shots of the Titanic wreckage were fake. James Cameron did in fact personally take a dive down to see the actual Titanic. However, new technology had to be developed to take the underwater shots at a depth of two miles which were shown in the movie. It was only possible to take 12 minutes of film.To make up for this, after the Titanic replica was sunk in the making of the film, some underwater shots were taken of that. Included in the fake footage were the frequent scenes of the clock in the stateroom where Leonardo Di Caprio draws Kate Winslet nude.The Renault car which was shown in the movie was real. Whether Kate and Jack or anybody else on board ever had sex in the back seat of that car (thereby establishing a fine American tradition) is not known.The movie features 2 hours and 40 minutes of scenes set in 1912. This is the exact amount of time the Titanic took to

    Titanic was deemed unsinkable because it had 15 watertight bulkheads and a double bottom. The problem with this though was that “the watertight compartment design contained a flaw that was a critical factor in Titanic’s sinking: While the individual bulkheads were indeed watertight, the walls separating the bulkheads extended only a few feet above the waterline, so water could pour from one compartment into another, especially if the ship began to list or pitch forward.” Many people say that the ship was doomed from the start. On April 10th 1912, The Titanic set sail for Cherbourg, France and then to Queenstown, Ireland.

There are people trying to jump off the board, but end up crushing themselves on the turbine of the ship.
