Port or starboard?
This isn’t a mistake at all; rather, it’s an alleged error that everyone takes to be real, even though Cameron was accurate. The crew yells “hard to starboard” and “hard to port” as they attempt to escape the iceberg, and the helmsman responds by seemingly going against the grain.
However, in 1912, starboard was regarded as the left side and port as the right side. After a while, this shifted, but contrary to popular belief, Cameron nailed it in the film.
