On April 14, 1912, the RMS Titanic also known as ‘The Unsinkable Ship,’ sunk to the bottom of the Atlantic but in 1997, James Cameron brought that fateful voyage to the television screen in a lifelike movie with what most historians believe to be accurate details. The fateful voyage of the RMS Titanic is a story that most people learn about and become fascinated with in elementary school. Like many people, James Cameron became fascinated with this story. In 1995, he began producing the movie, Titanic.
