James Cameron’s Titanicattempted to weave a dramatic retelling of the tragic events of the night, whilst being an amalgamation of fact, fiction, and historical inaccuracies.

The accounts surrounding the final hours before the sinking of the RMS Titanic are varied and conflicting, especially when it comes to the actions and whereabouts of Captain Smith. Little is known about the final hours of Captain Edward John Smith on Sunday, April 14, 1912, the day the Titanic sank during its maiden voyage across the Atlantic.
