To their great credit, the prop people actually completely filled the salt shaker for the diner with the Capt. scene, 11:13 into the film, but the pouring holes must have been huge as, following the Capt. line "Of course, the sea's at dead calm now", the actress on the right pours what looks like a ton of salt on her melon.

When the ship sinks it lamely slips into the water at a low angle. Somewhat of an anti-climax. Contrary to some reports, even at the time the film was made it was known that part of the ship upended at 45 degrees and sank vertically. I discovered this when I listened to an eyewitness account which is a permanent fixture at the British Library. See more...
