In Titanic (1997), which real ocean liner does the film depict?

Titanic (1997) depicts the real ocean liner RMS Titanic.

James Cameron’s film uses the ship’s 1912 maiden voyage as the setting for a fictional romance between Rose DeWitt Bukater and Jack Dawson. The RMS Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic on 14 April 1912 and sank during the early hours of 15 April.

The characters at the center of the film are fictional, although several supporting figures, including Captain Edward Smith and Molly Brown, are based on real people. The ship itself, its voyage, and the disaster are historical.

The film became one of the defining blockbusters of the 1990s. It won 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, tying the record then held by Ben-Hur. Its production also involved an elaborate full-scale ship set and extensive digital effects.
