Indeed, the Cameron depiction has caused many a headache to myself and probably some of you. So many people take the 1997 films version of events as what really happened, like Murdoch shooting himself etc.

We must all remember Cameron’s depiction was a 'dramatization', it had to look and feel spectacular. This explains the split scene, it had to look very frightening and leave the audience in shock and awe. Which it did, very well I may add.

I feel the ship partially split at the surface, and as the ships went down, the speed of descent and the like, caused the complete separation from the keel, and left the stern in the state it is in today. The bow? Well the computer graphic they used in the film titanic, after the complete split, yeah I would agree that’s basically what happened. With the addition of it spinning on the way down spiting debris all over the sea floor, and also explaining why the ship is not facing a western direction. I think it is facing north, is it?

God bless
