Often when we think of the Titanic the first thought that comes to mind is the film “Titanic”, produced in 1997, 85 years after the disaster. It starred Kate Winslett (Rose DeWitt Bukater), Leonardo DiCaprio (Jack Dawson), and Billy Zane (Cal Hokley) as the main characters. The film is about a love triangle between the three main characters. This film was produced by James Cameron who did a huge amount of research into the sinking of the Titanic to depict the turn of events in his film. Among the goals of his research he wanted to accurately represent the wreck itself, from the very moment the ship hit the iceberg to the last part of the ship that remained in the water. Another very significant part of Cameron's research was understanding the socio-economic status of passengers which we will discuss in detail later. Although historians have criticized some aspects of Cameron's film, the accuracy with which he depicts certain aspects such as the socio-economics of the passengers cannot be ignored. The RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on April 15, 1912. After colliding with an iceberg during its voyage from Southampton, United Kingdom to New York City, the sinking of the Titanic resulted in deaths of over 1,500 people. Among the research on the Titanic, in addition to the shipwreck itself, was to see the social classes present on the Titanic. Before the shipwreck itself there wasn't much from which to see the socio-economic conditions of the people who boarded this ship, so Cameron and a team of researchers went on an expedition. “He developed and piloted a new class of agile fiber-coiling robots that brought to mind never-before-seen images… middle of paper… wall of shimmering blue and green tiles. Teak chaise lounges lay upside down on the floor, incredibly well preserved, and above them was an Arabian dome covered in gold leaf. I had entered the elegant spa on the most luxurious ships of the time.” (Cameron,100) From this passage we can see how comfortable the passengers were on board, as Cameron describes them as the most luxurious ships of his time. James Cameron and his team in their recent expedition allowed us to see things that were not known to us in the past. James Cameron, despite being a film producer, was “A self-described rivet counting Titanic fanatic” (Hampton 95). His research can be seen in his film Titanic and the accuracy with which he depicted the passengers. This is the importance of the social scientist, the social scientist allows not only people to see the wreck of the ship but also the wreck of the passengers.
