 This connection to White Star, according to MacQuitty, is what actually led the Shaw Savill Line to pull out of the film.MacQuitty eventually got permission from Ship Breaking Industries in Faslane, Scotland to film scenes aboard , a 1920s ocean liner that the company was scrapping.The liner's port side had been demolished, but its starboard was still intact, and so MacQuitty got art students to paint the liner the White Star Line colors and used mirrors to recreate scenes that took place on the port side.
