    		In the film,"Titanic", the band is heard playing "Nearer My God To Thee". Whether this was the actual song is still being disputed.

    		"Nearer, my God, to Thee" is traditionally associated with the RMS Titanic, as passengers reported that the ship's band played the hymn as the Titanic sank.

    		Several survivors reported hearing "Nearer My God To Thee" being played by the band as the lifeboats were being filled. However, it is widely regarded that bandleader Wallace Hartley actually dismissed the band before the ship actually sank. None of the band survived.
