Very interesting. Some of these myths can possibly be traced to a book called A Night to Remember or something like that, which was written years later and was supposed to be a "definitive" account of what happened that night.
The film version of the book will be shown on TCM on Saturday night, April 14, 2012 at 10:00 PM Eastern time. Those on the FreeRepublic Titanic ping list will get a reminder a couple of days before.
By the way, if you want to join that low-volume, no-spam ping list, just FReepmail me. Interest in RMS Titanic is peaking as the 100th Anniversary of her tragic maiden voyage approaches in just a few more days.
Best line in the whole flick: Two upper-class young Englishmen helping all the women and kids into the lifeboats, and one of them turns to the other and says...
"I believe that you and I shall be on the same boat."
