where titanic was filmed
In 1995, production began on the film when Cameron shot footage of the actual Titanic wreck. The modern scenes were shot on board the Akademik Mstislav Keldysh, which Cameron used as a base while filming the actual wreck. A reconstruction of the Titanic was built in Baja, California, at Playas de Rosarito. Scale models and CGI effects were also used to create a more realistic version of the ship.
