- Titanic (1997) [Thomas Andrews]: Standing in the first class smoking room of the Titanic, he dies when the ship splits in two and destroying the smoking room. He later appears at the end of the film as a spirit in Rose's dream. (However, this is considered historically inaccurate. The scene of Andrews in the Smoking Room is based on the account of John Stewart, who left the ship in a lifeboat early. More reliable survivors reported him near the bridge before the Titanic sank) (See also Michael Goodlife's death in the 1958 version).
