On October 25, 1865, the legendary SS Republic sank 1,700 feet to the bottom of the Atlantic. With Odysseyâs 2003 discovery of the SS Republic, the shipâs remarkable legacy lives on as her story is chronicled in publications, television documentaries and exhibits.
The scene in the movie takes place on April 14, 1912, the day of the sinking. The original photo however was taken on the day of the sailing, and it's generally accepted that it was the Spedden who appear in the picture.
