PHOTOS and eyewitness testimony from a century ago have helped piece together the last moments of three passengers. Though Jack and Rose were completely invented ( meaning there is no Heart of the Ocean lurking on the sea floor, and nope, Jack didn't paint those nudes), the stories of the real people on board the Titanic are so interesting, they could easily make up their own three-hour movie. Photos and handwritten notes describe grim discovery of Titanic’s last lifeboat. Let's just say, James "I'm the King of the World" Cameron did his history homework, because the majority of Titanic's characters actually have real-life counterparts, many of whom sadly died on board, and some of whom lived to tell the tale of the ship's tragic sinking. Each had a capacity of 655.2 cubic feet (18.55 m 3) and was designed to carry 65 people.The rudders were made of elm selected because it resisted splitting and were 1.75 inches (4.4 cm) thick. 14 clinker-built wooden lifeboats, measuring 30 feet (9.1 m) long by 9 feet 1 inch (2.77 m) wide by 4 feet (1.2 m) deep. Andrews? The real builder of the ship-just like Captain Edward John Smith was the real captain. Titanic had 20 lifeboats of three different types. Molly Brown? A real person who was actually known as the Unsinkable Molly Brown. Over 2,000 passengers were on the ship, many of whom were depicted in the film. The real-life RMS Titanic sunk in the Atlantic ocean on April 15, 1912, after hitting an iceberg during its maiden voyage to New York City. Many lifeboats were only half-filled due to time delays to guide the women and children first. The ship infamously had too few lifeboats to evacuate all those on board the 20 lifeboats that she carried could only take about 1,100 people, even submerged, and Boat B floated away upside down minutes before the ship upended and sank.

Obviously, Titanic is a fictional movie about two gorgeous people who fall in love, have steamy below-deck car sex, and could definitely fit on the same raft in a hypothetical drowning situation-but as everyone knows, the iconic James Cameron film is, sadly, based in fact. played a crucial role in the disaster of 1415 April 1912.
