Movie: The French Bulldog that was to lead Leo and Kate to the floating board was
"adopted" by James Cameron after the shoot.
History: The Panama Canal was constructed with Titanic in mind. Meaning, when the canal was built they used Titanic as the "model" ship that would be passing through her gates. Everything was created so that even the largest ship in the world could utilize the canal. |

Feb/Mar 2002
If placed upright, the Titanic would have being taller than any of the buildings of her day. At 885 feet, she would have towered over the Washington Monument (555 ft), the Woolworth Building in New York (750 ft), and even the Grand Pyramid in Egypt (451 ft). To give an idea of how long 885 feet is you can line up 22 motor homes (40 ft long) or four 747 airplanes (231 ft long) to equal Titanic. Her height from the keel to the top of the funnels was 175 feet. Compare that to the Statue of Liberty at 151 ft from base to torch.
