Goofs

Although it was already pointed out that the dining room was located on A deck, instead of D deck, it is later shown that Simon Doonan and Jamie Perse are looking at the dining room through the boat deck windows.

After arriving in New York, there is a scene on balcony / walkway where the corner of the American flag shows. The flag has a field of stars staggered like in today's 50-star flag. The flag in 1912 would have been stars in a field of blue in straight rows.

After the rescue aboard the Carpathia, the lifeboats change from period wooden vessels to modern metallic ones, and once the survivors step out of them, they are seen gathered next to various modern deck machinery, revealing we are on a modern ship.

Shortly after the ship collides with the iceberg, first class passengers Molly Brown, John Jacob Astor and the fictional character Alden Foley (loosely based on Sir Cosmo Edmund Duff-Gordon, a real passenger) are shown emerging from the second class entrance at the aft port side of the boat deck. To top off this odd moment, the trio is then shown admiring the passengers tossing around the pieces of ice that fell onto the deck after the collision, even though the ship hit the berg with her starboard side at the bow and the iceberg never even fully reached A-deck, which was a level below the boat deck.

A steerage bathroom is seen during the rape scene, but in real life, Titanic's Third Class had only two bathtubs for use by all passengers. There were no shower stalls as seen in the film.

There are several errors relating to the Allisons and Alice Cleaver. The Allisons' nurse was not the child murderer Alice Mary Cleaver. She was actually Alice Catherine Cleaver, a different woman. Alice Cleaver and Trevor Allison boarded lifeboat 11, quite late into the sinking, not lifeboat 7, the first one launched. Furthermore, Loraine Allison was two years old at the time. The Allisons were also Canadians, not Americans as depicted in the film.

(Side note: the confusion over the identity of Alice Cleaver originated with Titanic Historical Society historian Don Lynch, in his book "Titanic: An Illustrated History" (1992). He acknowledged his mistake well before this film entered production.)

The story of the Allison family omits several points and key people who traveled with the family. In addition to the Allison family, and their nanny Alice Cleaver, three additional servants traveled with them. Sarah Daniels, the Allison's maid, traveled with the family and stayed in first class with them, along with Alice Cleaver. In addition the Allison's butler, George Swane, and their cook Mary Amelia Brown, nicknamed Mildred, also accompanied the family but traveled in Second Class. On the night of the sinking Hudson and Bess Allison were convinced that nothing was wrong with the ship and thus remained in bed. This prompted a concerned Sarah Daniels to go up onto the boat deck to investigate what happened. When Daniels arrived on deck she was swiftly placed into an early lifeboat and was assured by a steward that he would inform the Allison's of her whereabouts. It's uncertain if the steward ever informed the Allison's of Daniels whereabouts. Meanwhile after several insistence's by stewards that they dress and go up onto the boat deck Hudson Allison awoke and went to see what was wrong leaving Alice Cleaver and Bess Allison with the children. Reports vary as to exactly what happened next but it seems as if, in Hudson's absence, Bess Allison became overtook with fear. It seems that, perhaps sensing the urgency of the situation, Alice Cleaver took baby Trevor and told Mrs. Allison that she was going to meet up with the other servants in Second Class. Another version of the story had Hudson returning to the room, leading a nervous Bess, Alice and the kids up to the boat deck upon which Alice and Trevor became separated from them in the crowd. Nonetheless, at some point Cleaver did meet up with George Swane and Mildred Brown who led the three safely to lifeboat 11 which departed the ship at 1:45 AM. It seems that a now desperate Bess Allison, once separated from her baby, refused to leave the ship until she knew Trevor was all right and thus in turn refused to place Lorraine into a lifeboat. It's uncertain whether Swane ever was able to meet up with the family although there is some eyewitness evidence that Hudson tried to get Lorraine and Bess into collapsible A which was one of two lifeboats that floated off the liner when it sank, providing refuge for those struggling in the water. In any case neither Hudson, Bess, Lorraine nor George Swane survived the sinking. Hudson's body was one of the ones recovered from the cable ship Mackay Bennet that was hired to retrieve victims of the disaster from the water. For her part Cleaver never tried to pass off Trevor as her own baby once on the Carpathia. With Daniels and Brown as survivors Alice would have had no opportunity to do this and in fact very willingly handed over Trevor to relatives of the Allison's once the liner reached New York. It seems as if over the years Cleaver's tarnished name resulted from relatives of the Allison's who believed her separation from the Allison's caused the family their lives. This was complicated from the fact that Cleaver, Daniels, and Brown spoke very little of disaster in their later lives. Although little is known of Daniels later life both Brown and Cleaver lived long lives, passing in 1976 and 1984 respectively. Sadly, Trevor passed from food poisoning as a teenager in 1929.

The Titanic was not booked solid as stated in the film. The First and Second Class cabins were less than half full.

The ship did not have a brig, or any kind of prison, as mentioned by Jamie Perse. Furthermore, brig is a naval term and would not be used on a civilian vessel.

When Alice Cleaver says "We're all going to die!", it is 11:45 P.M. However, there is daylight coming through the window.

The artwork on the 2016 DVD and Blu-ray release is actually an image of Titanic's sister ship Olympic.

The term "see-through" was not used for fabrics until about 1950.

The Titanic was built and fitted out in Belfast, not Southampton as shown in the film.

Sunrise on April 14 at a latitude near 40 degrees north would be before 5:30 am local solar time. It is shown as occurring at 7:00 am, impossible by any reasonable clock setting. (Daylight Saving Time was not in use in 1912.)

The Southampton crowd is seen waving off the Titanic from the starboard side. In reality, they did so on the port side.

There are several errors relating to Margaret Brown. She actually boarded the Titanic at Cherbourg, not Southampton. She was not known as "Molly" until after her death, and in contrast to her portrayal as a raving, oversexed hillbilly, she was in fact an intelligent, well-mannered, social and political activist. She was also much older and less attractive than actress Marilu Henner. Furthermore, she is seen drinking and gambling in the smoking room. In reality, the smoking room was a male-only domain and Brown would not have been there.

First Officer Murdoch uses a pair of binoculars to get a better view of the iceberg just after it has been sighted. In reality, on account of a mix up at Southampton, no Titanic officers had binoculars.

When instructing the wireless operators to send a distress call to other ships, Captain Smith erroneously describes the CQD call as "Come Quickly, Distress".

Mrs. Miller refers to John Jacob Astor as the richest man in the world, which was not the case.

Captain Edward Smith never berated or scolded First Officer William Murdoch for hitting the iceberg, nor did he angrily scold him for not hitting it head-on. While it is possible that the Titanic might have survived a head-on collision with the iceberg, officers would never have attempted such a thing unless there were no other options. Officers would always try to avoid an obstacle, such as an iceberg, whenever possible rather than face it head-on and hope for the best.
