Unexpected Inheritance: The Messenger family ends up inheriting the Seaton estate in Halifax, Nova Scotia, after Angus Seaton's son, Myles, passes away. It was his way of making it up to Michael's descendants after taking the purse of photos that would have identified Annie, and revealed Michael as her son.

Cassandra Truth: When Kevin tries to tell the crew and passengers he encounters on the Titanic that the ship is about to sink, they laugh it off, since the ship was advertised as unsinkable.

You Are Number 6: The identification system that the crew of the Mackay-Bennett used to identify the bodies of Titanic victims had any bodies that couldn't be identified (be it by lack of personal ID, or the bodies being too damaged and/or rotted to identify) be listed as numbers.
