Mabel says newspaper reports about Lady Duff-Gordon were "quite untrue, for she has not seen one reporter, her lawyer strictly forbidden it, so everything about her is a concocted tale.

Nice to see the media hasn't changed much.

This is why people should never get their history lessons from Hollywood. James Cameron turned the tragedy of the Titanic into a rich vs. poor class struggle with the evil capitalists exploiting the virtuous underpriviliged.

In reality, many of the “evil capitalists” on the Titanic were the most heroic. But that doesn’t play today...

"It was also revealed that Leading Fireman Charles Hendrickson asked those in the lifeboat whether they should return to pick up survivors - but Lady Duff-Gordon warned they might be swamped by people clambering onto the small boat. Several of the men, too, agreed it was too dangerous"

I valid concern since most of the passengers were women.
