This movie was surprisingly accurate on one point, though they didn't know it at the time. Computer displays in the movie show the Titanic resting at a depth of 12,347 feet. When the wreck was discovered in 1985, it was resting at a depth of 12,415 feet.
When the camera pans across the Titanic just after it surfaces, the model builders inserted a gag. A miniature crewman works a hand pump as fast as he can.
A model of the R.M.S. Titanic was built for $350,000. When it was finished, it was too big for its tank. A bigger tank had to be built, for $6 million. This tank could hold 40 million liters (10,566,882 gallons) of water, and it was built next to the smaller tank, which had been used for several movies. Reportedly, the total cost of $6 million was $1 million less than the cost to build the original R.M.S. Titanic. Adjusted for inflation, the cost would have been over $180 million as of 2018.
Regarding the movie's cost, producer Sir Lew Grade famously said "It would have been cheaper to lower the Atlantic (Ocean)." In 1996, when the £3.3 million operation to raise the R.M.S. Titanic was abandoned, Grade added: "As I said all those years ago, it would be cheaper to lower the Atlantic than raise the Titanic. It was a terrible tragedy, so many lives were lost, and God knows what else. People said there were diamonds and gold on board, but I never found any. They should let it rest in peace now. You can't do anything about the people that went down in her. It's futile."
The 55-foot model of the R.M.S. Titanic used for the refloating scenes was constructed and first floated at CBS Studio Center in Studio City, California, before being shipped to Malta for filming. Its maiden sailing took place in the Gilligan's Island Lagoon.
"Dirk Pitt: You want to talk about distress, we have Navy weather forcasting a Force 12 storm, we have Russians looking down our throats and we are on a ship that never learned to do anything but sink, that's distress."
"John Bigalow: [Holds Titanic's pennant] I took the pennant off her before she went down. [Hands it over to Pitt] John Bigalow: If you manage to bring her up again, maybe you'd put it back where it belongs."
