What's left behind the scenes
- It is not difficult to dive to the "Lusitania" because, after the attack by a German submarine, it sank relatively close to the Irish coast. The sunken ship was already heavily damaged on the seabed, as the Royal Navy repeatedly dropped depth charges on it, hoping to hit or at least scare away German submarines hiding near the wreckage, and the explosions scattered the debris of the "Lusitania" over a large area.
- The main characters' father is named Harrison, which is a reference to Harrison Ford, who played Indiana Jones in the films of the eponymous franchise.
- The Wicked Bible does indeed exist. It was published in 1631 (by publishers Robert Barker and Martin Lucas). As mentioned in the film, the word "not" was omitted in the commandment "Thou shalt not commit adultery" in "Exodus 20:14", so instead of "Thou shalt not commit adultery" it read "Thou shalt commit adultery".
- The character played by Stanley Tucci first appears on screen supposedly in the Vatican (at least, that's what the script says). In reality, he walks past King William Court – one of the buildings of the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich (London), which can be concluded from the presence of the chapel of Saints Peter and Paul in the frame.
- The mention of Alfred J. Vanderbilt during the search for Rembrandt's masterpiece aboard the sunken "Lusitania" is a reference to the great-grandfather of screenwriter James Vanderbilt, who died on the "Lusitania" in 1915.
- Luke, played by John Krasinski, drives a British sports car, an AC Cobra (known as the Shelby Cobra in the US), during the chase scene in London. This detail is a reference to the novels of Clive Cussler, whose hero Dirk Pitt drives exactly this type of car.
