Wasn't the funniest thing in the film though.
For instance, when the ship finally goes under, Jack & Rose are standing on the upturned stern of the ship, and then they simply step off the ship and into the Atlantic.
Anything that close to a fecking big piece of metal sinking at high speed will be dragged down with it as the ocean closes in to occupy the empty space left by the ship.
You've got to work hard to escape the drag factor of a sinking ship.
Biggest load of bollox i've ever seen.
