Trivia
Famous American author Morgan Robertson published a novella titled "The Wreck of the Titan" in 1898. It is a fictional story about a large passenger liner that struck an iceberg while sailing in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Ironically, the storyline in Robertson's book contains very striking resemblances to the events of the R.M.S. Titanic, despite it being written fourteen years earlier.

Goofs
At the end of episode 12 on board the Titanic, a movie producer lights Kitty's cigarette with a Zippo lighter. The first Zippo lighter was produced in 1932 and the patent was not issued until 1936.

Fascinating mini series on Titanic's origins.

A really fascinating series that covers both the building of the RMS Titanic at the Harland and Wolff Shipyards in Belfast and the wider world in the early 1900s. Some interesting topics covered, including union riots, mixed race relationships, the growing divide between Irish and English and, of course, the construction of the White Star Line's allegedly unsinkable ocean liner. Of course, we all know how that turned out. The interwoven stories are brought to life over twelve episodes by a stellar cast including Derek Jacobi, Neve Campbell and others. Production values are good, and, from what I have read, events in the series are fairly true to real life.

The finale, whilst offering closure, was also a little open-ended, which made me think Blood and Steel was intended to have more than one season. It would have been fascinating to see what happened to some of the characters who set sail on Titanic.

Really good television.
