I think that they got quite a lot wrong in Titanic, Ken.

But, as an aside, the reasons for the Titanic's accident, holing and sinking 
with so much loss of life are very interesting.  I undertook a Human Factors 
Facilitators' course earlier in the year and one of the case studies was 
Titanic:

Too few lifeboats
Inconsistent use of riveting techniques and materials
Relationships among the officers
Ambiguity of the contracts for the radio operators
etc . . .
