Trivia and Goofs
The story echoes the last major disaster involving ocean liners, the sinking of the SS Andrea Doria in 1956.
As expected for an Italian ocean liner, all service signs appearing on and in the ship are written in Italian, but almost all carry mistakes and misspellings. The name of the ship itself - the Italian-sounding "Antonia Graza" - is a corruption of the name "Antonia Grazia" (Grazia meaning Grace in Italian).

Famous quotes containing the words trivia and and/or trivia:
“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
