I tried to make Titanic Voyage as historially accurate as possible. Clara encounters lookouts Lee and Fleet, as well as a poor doomed steward named Gilbert, who if I recall could have been one of two men. There are references to Dorothy Gibson, Bruce Ismay, Wallace Hartley, Thomas Andrews, and Captain Smith.
That said, I hate the idea of portraying a real person inaccurately, so my characters don't interact much with real people.
