John Jacob Astor did not have Lincolnesque whiskers as portrayed by David Janssen in the film. Astor's only facial hair was a mustache. The reason for this error is that passenger Stanley May or his brother was famously photographed at the London train station, Waterloo, on April 10 1912 where the Titanic passengers took the Boat Train to the ship at Southampton. The Mays, both of whom had whiskers, traveled as far as Queenstown Ireland, and got off. John Jacob Astor and his wife boarded the Titanic at Cherbourg in France, not in England.
