Titanic Basic Mistakes and Amateur Errors: What's Your Experience (and Internally Enraged Reaction)?

[Robert T. Paige]

Hello, Martin-
I can understand your rage.

This looks more like a Cunarder leaving Southampton ?
"ARD" may be seen at the extreme left of the photo.

I understand Titanic did not dock at Queenstown but was anchored some 2 miles (?) out and passengers boarded the ship or left the ship via tenders.

Same as at Cherbourg.

Of course there other instances where Olympic was shown as Titanic.

I am sure watchers have seen many more glaring errors in the video.
But the one which struck me was the one which stated "Titanic was sold out."
Which - of course - was certainly not the case....far from it.

Just an explanation of an error that I somehow I allowed to creep in.
The paragraph about the "glaring errors in the video" should have been cited as in reference to the 1953 version of the movie "Titanic", which is notorious for all of its errors.
The reference to "sold out" was when Richard Sturges (Clifton Webb) arrives at Cherbourg to purchase a ticket he is told that "Titanic has been sold out for months." Of course there were plenty of cabins, etc.available in all classes. He ends up bribing a couple to get a ticket to get on Titanic.
Another "nit pick" is the scene at Cherbourg is shown as a somewhat foggy day instead of the late evening when Titanic loaded passengers at Cherbourg.
