The sinking of the Titanic is real, but the movie is based on the film novel "Titanic" written by Schutesmann.
RMS Titanic, also translated as Titanic, is an Olympic-class cruise ship under the British White Star Line, with a displacement of 46,000 tons. It was launched in Northern Ireland on March 31, 1909. Construction started at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast Port, and it was launched on May 31, 1911. It was completed and trialled on April 2, 1912.
The Titanic was the largest passenger ship with the most luxurious internal facilities in the world at the time, and was known as "unsinkable". Unfortunately, the Titanic met with misfortune on its maiden voyage - it set out from Southampton, England, via Cherbourg-Octoville, France, and Cobh, Ireland, to New York, the United States.
At around 23:40 on April 14, 1912, the Titanic collided with an iceberg, causing the starboard bow to the middle of the ship to break, and five watertight compartments to flood. At about 2:20 a.m. the next day, the Titanic's hull broke into two pieces and sank 3,700 meters to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Of the 2,224 crew members and passengers, more than 1,500 died, and only 333 of the victims' bodies were recovered.
The sinking of the Titanic was the deadliest maritime disaster in peacetime. Its wreckage was not rediscovered until 1985 and is currently protected by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

Circumstances of the death
Due to the chaotic scene after the disaster, improper document management, and various mixed opinions from later generations, Titan The statistics of the Knick's passengers and victims have always been questionable.
It is generally believed that the number of victims may be between 1,490-1,635. The most credible data is released by the British Trade Commission: At the time of the disaster, the Titanic was carrying 2,224 passengers. Among them, 710 people survived and 1,514 people died.
The impact of the shipwreck
The Titanic was the product of mankind's beautiful dreams reaching their peak, reflecting mankind's strong self-confidence in controlling the world. Its sinking showed mankind the mysterious power of nature and the unpredictability of fate. By the time the Titanic sank, people in the Western world had enjoyed stability and peace for 100 years. Science and technology are advancing steadily, industry is developing rapidly, and people are full of confidence in the future.
The sinking of the Titanic awakened all this. The "unsinkable ship" - the largest man-made steel structure after the Eiffel Tower and a great achievement of the industrial age - sank on its first voyage because of its indifference to the power of nature. The Titanic will forever serve as a reminder of the cost of human arrogance.
People will never forget this picture: the Titanic holds its head high on the bottom of the sea, and its dilapidation and stains cannot conceal her nobility. This is where she belongs. This is how history turned into legend.
