Bettmann / Bettmann Archive
The movie was, well, about raising the Titanic from the ocean floor. Interestingly enough, because the movie was made in 1980, the wreck of the ship had yet to be found. That's why "the wreck" is in one big piece here.
22.
Here's what the wreck of the model of the wreck of the Titanic looks like today:
u/expensiveincident153 / Via reddit.com
Slightly worse than the one in the Atlantic, I'd say.

Dr. Naismith is there in the suit. Surrounding him is John G. Thompson, Eugene S. Libby, Edwin P. Ruggles, William R. Chase, T. Duncan Patton, Frank Mahan, Finlay G. MacDonald, William H. Davis and Lyman W. Archibald. Now THOSE are some old-timey names. I think the Raptors would hang 1200 on them.
35.

u/WhenPigsRideCars / Via reddit.com
Josh Hart would make that man CRY.
