She Was Modeled After the Ritz Hotel
According to rumors, the opulent interior of the Titanic was influenced by London’s world-renowned Ritz Hotel. It had a grand staircase, squash courts, a swimming pool, and a cutting-edge gym. There were many lounges, reading rooms, and smoking areas. It was supposed to be the pinnacle of luxury.

The Orchestra Played Happy Tunes
The orchestra performed music during the sinking, as depicted in the film. They were doing their best to calm the passengers. Most of the time, they were not playing sad, mournful music because it was considered a bad omen and would only add to the stress. Instead, they performed ragtime and peppy dancing music. Only when disaster was inevitable did they start playing hymns at the request of stranded passengers. Even now, people disagree what the band’s final song was.
