J. Dawson was discovered to be Joseph Dawson and not Jack. However, there were some interesting similarities between this J. Dawson and the character "Jack". James Cameron insists that this was purely coincidental and that he wasn't even aware a J. Dawson had died on the Titanic....

I watched a show over the summer about this man. I don't have anything new to add about him, but the program said that after the movie came out, there was a large increase in the amount of people who visited his tombstone. The majority of these people were young teenager girls who left behind items like flowers and teddy bears to adorn the grave in honor of the J. Dawson from the movie.
