I believe that that is because on a ship the wheel is turned the opposite way to which you intend to turn. Any mariners out there care to confirm?

You're confusing a ship's wheel with a tiller.
You turn a ship's wheel the same as you would a car steering wheel.

They didn't sink in that "Hull and back" special did they?

You're being silly now-how can you confuse one of these with a ship's wheel?

I preferred the Kenneth More 'stiff upper lip' version then this load of American CACK

Since it was written and directed by James Cameron, who is from Kapuskasing, Ontario, I think this might be better described as Canadian CACK.

How unusual for Ernest to be wrong.

That would only work if the ship was going astern and at that point they engines are still going forward. Its only just before they hit that they go astern.

And the iceberg is hit by the right hand side of the ship, the starboard, as she tries to pass to the left of the iceberg, going to port.

Just as well the helmsman didn't follow the First officer's order otherwise they'd have ploughed into the bloody thing head on!

Sorry to be pedantic

Much more interesting was a film about the Indianapolist, sunk in 1945 in shark infested waters. Was on the other night.
