      It definitely wasn’t a Olympic class liner with insurance problems that continued to be in service for 20+ years

          It is a reference to the lines of the film actor of the captain of Titanic in the 1997 film being the same actor who played King Theoden of Rohan (a horse-riding people) in the Lord of The Rings trilogy by Peter Jackson.
