CThe ship's chaplain recited the 23rd Psalm incorrectly.
DThe orchestra played the wrong tune for 'Nearer My God to Thee'.✓ Correct Answer
Answer & Explanation
✓ The orchestra played the wrong tune for 'Nearer My God to Thee'.
The British use a different tune for "Nearer My God to Thee" than Americans and Canadians. Cameron had the orchestra playing the tune familiar to Americans (called "Bethany") but the Titanic was a British ship, and the orchestra played the British version, a tune called "Horbury". The old movie, "A Night to Remember", played the historically accurate version. (See Acts 12:2, James)
