We all have our favourite memories that we think back to when times are rough, and what's more rough than being aboard an unsinkable ship that turns out to be, oh, quite sinkable indeed? Nothing, arguably, so when Jack recounts one of his happy life moments to Rose when she's threatening to leap over the edge of the ship in that incredibly famous scene from James Cameron's
Titanic, we nod and say, "yeah, atta boy, Jack, nice one." Jack's exact words? "I remember when I was a kid. Me and my father, we went fishing on Lake Wissota." A cliché memory perhaps, but a happy one, at least. It also never happened, given that Lake Wissota didn't actually exist until 1918, six years after the Titanic made its fatal voyage. It was filled with water when a power company built a damn in Wisconsin. So, either Jack is psychic, a liar, or James Cameron didn't us Google.
