Other mistake: When the crew is isolating the boiler in the Pendelton, the pipe wrench on the isolating valve is on backwards for the direction it is being turned.
Factual error: A utility pole appears in a scene, with electrical, telephone, and CATV (cable TV) lines. Although rudimentary cable TV systems existed in the movie's time period (1951), the 1/2" or 1" shielded cable shown in this scene didn't appear in use until the 1960's. (00:45:08)
Richard Livesey: Maybe we take these guys in and come back out.

Bernie Webber: Just more water.
Ervin Maske: Please tell me we are taking this boat to a bigger boat.
