There was a scene story-boarded, in which Rose was to walk off the Carpathia and disappears into the crowds. Since the budget had run so high, however, James Cameronhad to cut this scene due to the expense of having almost 1,000 extras brought to New York to film just 30-seconds.

Considerable controversy arose when James Cameron depicted the suicide of First Officer Murdoch.
Dolores O'Riordan was asked to both act in and compose music for the movie, but refused both offers due to the birth of her son.
The character of Rose is partially based on California artist Beatrice Wood, who died in 1998 at the age of 105.
The "ale" in the below decks party was actually root beer.
The engine master says, "All ahead full," and we hear someone yell, "All ahead full!" in the background. That is actually director James Cameron's voice.
In the scene of Rose looking through the corridors for Jack, the water used was actually from the Pacific Ocean at the Baja California, Mexico set. The water was so cold that when Rose gasps when she first dives into the water, it was actually Kate Winslet's genuine reaction to the frigid ocean.

To achieve tilt angles beyond 6°, the "underwater" parts of the facade were simply detached from the set and the support structure adjusted accordingly.
