Titanic in Real Life Vs. Titanic On Screen-- Part 2

TREASURE

REAL LIFE:  Passengers brought along their personal baubles (especially first class), some have been recovered.

ON SCREEN:  The movie's Heart of the Ocean necklace was fiction, but its creator, Asprey & Garrard, made a real-life replica that was auctioned for charity in 1998 for $2.2 million.


PET FANCY

REAL LIFE:  There were reportedly 12 dogs on board the Titanic.  Three survived.

ON SCREEN:  The older Rose (played by Gloria Stuart) has a pomeranian, the breed of two of the surviving dogs.
