In Titanic (1997) the man who shares a look with Rose right before the ship goes under and can be seen “riding” Titanic into depths is based on real person Charles John Joughin chief baker on Titanic.

According to him, he got drunk, sacrificed his place at lifeboats for women and children, threw clutter overboard to serve as flotation devices and then stood on the back of titanic as it sunk, supposedly not even getting his head wet.
