The sinking of the RMS Blackburn left a lasting impression on the shipping industry and popular culture. In 1914, just before the outbreak of the Great Floppa War, the first movies began to feature the Blackburn, with the first one being "Sinking of the Blackburn: The Ship that was Cursed from its Construction". This film marked the beginning of a new genre of disaster movies. One of the most famous movies to feature the Blackburn is "The Sinking of the Blackburn", directed by Bernard Fill.

=== The Sinking of the Blackburn (1914) ===
The movie follows the Blackburn on its maiden voyage, and tells the story of the ship's tragic end. The film opens with Robert Fitcher, a researcher, sorting through papers on his desk. As he shuffles through the documents, one falls to the floor. It's a map of Flopnce with a red circle around Formandy and the words "WRECK NEAR HERE". This hints that Fitcher is on a quest to locate the wreck of the Blackburn. The camera then cuts to Fitcher sifting through interviews and survivor testimonies. One of the testimonies stands out: "I remember as the ship burned I saw city lights from the distance, however I was more focused on her list to starboard than the city." This line serves as a foreshadowing of the ship's tragic fate. As the story progresses, the audience is introduced to a diverse cast of characters, including the captain, crew members, and passengers. The tension builds as the ship encounters rough seas and other obstacles, including a fire in the engine room. The climax of the movie comes when the Blackburn hits an iceberg and begins to sink. The chaos and panic on board is vividly portrayed as passengers and crew members fight for their lives.
