One of the graves was marked "J. Dawson". There were mountains of flowers, stuffed animals, movie ticket stubs, etc. on top of this grave, which is actually the grave of Joseph Dawson, an Irishman who worked in the Titanic's boiler room.
Several sobbing teenage girls were standing over the grave, absolutely convinced that the grave belonged to Jack Dawson, the fictitious character in the 1997 movie played by Leonardo DiCaprio.

ROFLOL! Thanks for sharing that story. :-)
