It was only after the script was finished that he discovered that there had been a real “J. Dawson” who died aboard the Titanic.

The iceberg was spotted at 11.40pm on April 14, 1912, by lookout Frederick Fleet, who proclaimed: “Iceberg! Right ahead!” Fleet survived the disaster and was a lookout on the RMS Oceanic during the Twenties, before serving in the Second World War. Pranksters placed a pair of binoculars on his grave in 2012 with a note saying: “Sorry they’re 100 years too late”.

The iceberg was around 100 feet tall and came from a glacier in Greenland.

Just 37 seconds elapsed between the sighting of the iceberg and the collision.

First Officer William McMaster Murdoch ordered the ship to turn, but it was too large to do so in time. It has been suggested that the ship would not have sunk if it hit the iceberg head-on. Murdoch went down with the ship; a memorial to him is found in his hometown of Dalbeattie, Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland.

Edward Smith, the ship’s captain, also went down with the vessel. His last words were: “Well boys, you've done your duty and done it well. I ask no more of you. I release you. You know the rule of the sea. It's every man for himself now, and God bless you.” A statue of him can be seen in Lichfield, Staffordshire.

The ship broke in two at around 2.20am on April 15, and sunk, sending all remaining passengers into the ocean. The temperature would have been -2°C – few would have survived longer than 15 minutes in the water, while around one in five would have died within two minutes from cold shock.

The movie features 2 hours and 40 minutes of scenes set in 1912. This is the exact amount of time the Titanic took to sink.

Charles Joughin, however, the ship’s baker, reportedly trod water for two hours before being rescued with little ill-effects. He claimed he had not felt the cold due to the amount of whiskey he had drunk.

The SS Californian was criticised for ignoring the Titanic’s distress signals. She was sunk herself three years later by a German submarine.

Gloria Stuart was the only person who worked on the film who was actually living in 1912 when the Titanic sunk.

On the set of Titanic, Leonardo DiCaprio's pet lizard was run over by a truck, but with some TLC, Leo nursed him back to life.

On the final night of shooting in Nova Scotia, one or more pranksters mixed PCP (angel dust) into the clam chowder served to the cast and crew. 80 people were sent to the hospital with hallucinations.

Only 306 bodies were found. The dead were taken to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Its Maritime Museum has a dedicated section that includes a deckchair recovered from the wreck, mortuary bags, and the shoes of an unknown victim.

Although Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater were written as fictitious characters it was discovered that there was actually a real ‘J. Dawson’ from Dublin, who perished on the Titanic and was buried alongside other passengers at ‘Fairview Lawn Cemetery’, in Nova Scotia

The wreck of the Titanic was discovered in 1985 and lies 370 miles off the coast of Newfoundland, around 12,500 feet below the surface. The marine dive specialists Deep Ocean Expeditions previously offered trips to the wreck using a Mir submersible chartered from the Russian Academy of Sciences - with berths costing $59,000 - but stopped offering them in 2012.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s famous line ‘I’m the king of the world!’ wasn’t in the script! The actor made the line up on the spot and now it’s in the ‘American Film Institute’s’ list of the top 100 movie quotes of all time.

Dozens of films and documentaries have been made about the disaster, the most controversial of which was commissioned by Joseph Goebbels in 1943. Its plot discredited British and American businessmen and features brave German passengers. The epilogue states: “The deaths of 1,500 people remain un-atoned, forever a testament of Britain's endless quest for profit.”
