In one of the popular publicity photos from James Cameron's TITANIC movie (the port side of the ship as they are getting ready to leave Southampton), the ship appeared to have all black (and thus, non-gold) porthole linings.
YET, in one of Father Brown's famous photos from 1912 (taken with his camera held over the side of the ship looking forward on the starboard side from Southampton's Ocean Dock) the portholes are clearly shiny. Does gloss black really look that shiny, or was it a brass lining? How about photos of the ship on the ocean floor aren't those shiny gold (brass) ? Who is correct and who isn't?
