Inaccurate Portrayal of Titanic's Speed in the Film
The film inaccurately portrays Ismay as pushing Captain Smith to speed up the Titanic to reach New York ahead of schedule for publicity purposes. In reality, there is no evidence to support this claim. Ismay was not pushing for excessive speed as the Titanic was not at full speed and White Star liners were known for luxury rather than speed.
