James Cameron's Titanic was an enjoyable movie. This film contains one of the most important events in history and has won numerous awards for the amazing story line. However, as enjoyable as a movie may be, one must question whether or not the events are historically accurate. James Cameron's Titanic may have a few discrepancies, but on the other hand, most scenes are factual to the actual events that occurred on the R.M.S. Titanic.

The Titanic was built at the Harland and Wolff Shipyards in Belfast, Ireland. "Nearly the length of three football fields, she was the largest moving object ever created by man" (The Ship 1). She was in the trio of the "Olympic class" of ships. Olympic was the first, followed by Titanic, and then came Gigantic which was later named Britannic. "J. Ismay and designer Thomas Andrews's plan for the Titanic was as follows: Passenger and crew capacity- 3,547; Weight- 46,328 tons; Length- 882 feet, 9 inches; Width- 94 feet; Height- 100 feet at bridge level..."

"The Titanic was designed to carry a total of 48 lifeboats, but the White Star Line decided that passenger comfort was most important" (Interesting Facts 33). The 20 lifeboats could carry a capacity of 1,178 people. The problem was that there were 2200 people on board and not all of them would survive in the event of a crash. One crew member in James Cameron's Titanic stated, "Not even God himself could sink this ship." It was called unsinkable, therefore the crew member did not take precautions to prepare for the Titanic if it was to capsize. For example, during the time before the ship hit the iceberg, there were no lifeboat drills. So no one would know what to do if a crash occurred. If ev!
