It seems quite quaint now that at that time raising the Titanic whole seemed like something that could even be contemplated
thx_II38
Is the missing smokestack intentional or just missing? I remember Clive Cussler got that detail wrong in the book but was it carried over to the movie?

Work on a film set, they said, it’s an noble and glamorous profession, they said, you’re not getting cold under the studio lights, they said.

I know this is irrelevant and doesn’t add to the conversation, and I don’t usually make a comment like this, but I am pretty sure he is peeing.

That’s a fucking cool job title to have on your CV : Professional Frog Man. None of this shitty amateur amphibian stuff

What’s a frogman? What’s the difference between amateur and professional frogman?
Was he able to actually move the model ship or is this just hype?

The film’s producer, Lord Grade, later said “it would have been cheaper to lower the Atlantic.”
In contrast with the model of the mothership from Close Encounters (which I’ve seen in the Air and Space Museum and is in fantastic shape) this prop wasn’t valued as the movie wasn’t iconic. But it’s a cool assed prop.
