Welcome to the board. Enjoy your stay here.

The story of Jack and Rose is completely made up. The charachters Rose and Jack are made up as well as Ruth, Lovejoy and Cal.

Molly Brown, Astor, Guggenheim, The Strausses and ofcourse Smith and the officers are all real. And ofcourse the story of the Titanic is real with it hitting an iceberg and sinking and all. But the Jack and Rose love story, completely made up. As is the Heart of the ocean.

However there was a couple, Kate Phillips and Henry Morsely who were traveling in 2nd class, he gave her a necklace similar to the Heart of the ocean just as she was getting on a lifeboat. Some say Cameron based the Heart of the ocean off the one given to Kate Phillips although I'm not sure about that.

Also, while Jack's name was Jack Dawson, people believe there really was a Jack Dawson on Titanic as there's a J.Dawson on the passenger/crew list. It's actually trimmer Joseph Dawson who went down with the ship. He's buried in Halifax and after the film was released girls swarmed to Halifax and covered the graves in Flowers thinking it was Leo or Jack Dawson..
