Didn't the Titanic break in half? I remember in this movie they raise a completely intact ship. No James Cameron back then.

Well this movie came out in 1980. The actual wreck of the Titanic wouldn't be discovered for another five years...which revealed, for the first time, that the ship had split in half.

Actually, many of the eyewitnesses in 1912 said the ship broke in half, it was just that nobody believed them. Conventional wisdom had it that the ship stayed in one piece and they were just hysterical Then the wreck was discovered. Oops.
