Epps: Not the same as flying weather planes over ice sheets is it? What`s the appeal?
Epps: You mean, what`s a nice girl like me doing in a dump like this, instead of raising a family? Simple. I own a third of Murphy`s operation, I`m not that nice, and these monkeys... are my family.

Trivia
Originally conceived as a relatively bloodless psychological horror about four salvage crew members who turn against one another after being stranded in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean aboard the remains of a cruise ship (The Chimera) believed to have been lost in the 1960s.
#
# The design for the "Antonia Graza" was modeled after the "Andrea Doria", a real-life Italian cruise ship that also met a tragic fate: it sank in the 1950s after colliding with another liner. Contrary to this fact, the "Antonia Graza" actually shows a stronger resemblance to the "Leonardo Da Vinci", a slightly altered and larger design which replaced the Doria after she sank.
The Andrea Doria did not only inspire the name of the Antonia Graza. It also inspired the name of the Maria Doria, which was the cruise liner in the video game Tomb Raider II. Notice, though, that "Andrea" is a masculine name in Italian.
The opening floor deck sequence of the film where everyone is severed in the torso area by a cable, was originally conceived to be that everyone was decapitated, but the studio didn`t like the idea.
Gabriel Byrne replaced Brian Cox.
#
# The scene on the foredeck where the Captain and the passengers were dancing, and the scene in the ballroom, was a common tradition at the time near the end of a trans-Atlantic voyage. These were usually held as the ship approached the end of the trip, near the coast and these Balls were called the "Captain`s Ball".
#
# The ghost captain tells Gabriel Byrne`s character that the Antonio Graza rescued a ship called the Lorelei. Rescuing this ship is what eventually led to the destruction of the Antonia Graza and the death of all its passengers. "Die Lorelei" is a German poem about a siren-type woman who lures boats to ruin and sailors to their deaths.
SPOILER: Jack Ferriman`s "Soul Collector" character is named for Charon the Ferryman, the Greek mythological spirit who collected souls from one side of the river Styx and ferried them across to Hades. Also, the painting at the end of the Grand Hall is inspired in Michelangelo`s painting "the Ferry man of the Styx". Although it shows Poseidon instead of Charon, position and painting arrangements are the same.
