Titanic: Birth of a Legend

Synopsis

The *Titanic* was regarded as a masterpiece of modern merchant shipbuilding at the start of the 20th century. The documentary *Titanic* explores the history of the massive transatlantic liner. Using a mix of historical photographs and films, graphics, computer animations, and reenactments, the film is told from the perspective of those who built the ship. This approach not only offers insight into shipbuilding practices of the time but also into the social and political conditions under which those involved in the Northern Irish shipbuilding industry were operating just before the outbreak of the First World War.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
