Historical accuracy[]

The mini-series portrays Ismay as a racist towards the Italian waiters of the À la Carte Restaurant and warns Lightoller of unruly Italians are. In reality, Ismay was the one who hired Luigi Gatti and his staff to publicize the success of the Ritz restaurant aboard the SS Amerika in 1905. This was to promote competition to bring over the rich passenger to enjoying lavish French haute cuisine.

On the beginning of Episode 4, Ismay is seen as a member of the Widener's dinner party in the restaurant. While Ismay did eat at the À la Carte Restaurant on the night the Titanic hit the iceberg, he dined alone with Dr. William O'Loughlin.
