3. The wife is said to have escaped the sinking on Lifeboat 4. According to this list, no woman on board Lifeboat 4 has a last name resembling Farley phonetically in any way. It was likely picked for this work of fiction as it was the same boat that Mr. Astor's widow, Madeleine Talmadge Force Astor, escaped on.

The episode in question that OP saw is available on Youtube.

1. The couple are identified as a Eric and Mrs. Farley. According to this source there was no one who boarded the Titanic under the surname Farley, nor anyone under either Eric or Erik with a last name resembling Farley phonetically.

2. The husband states that they are right next to a Mr. John Jacob Astor, Boat Deck, 111-B. Several things wrong here.

• The Boat Deck had no accommodations for passengers

• B Deck did not go to room 111.

• C Deck, where room 111 actually would have been for First Class Passengers, was occupied by a Mr Benjamin Laventall Foreman, who was traveling alone

• Mr. Astor was staying in rooms C-62 and C-64, far away from C-111.

“He was someone who wrote about maritime affairs,” (Paul) Heyer said. “He was an experienced seaman, and he saw ships as getting very large and the possible danger that one of these behemoths would hit an iceberg.”

The story’s main focus is a Titan naval officer who finds God, gets the love of his life back and fights alcoholism after the Titan’s sinking. Robertson also throws in some interesting action sequences — like one where the protagonist slays a polar bear to rescue a small child.

After the sinking of the Titanic, Robertson gained great acclaim for being a clairvoyant, a title he denied.

“No,” he would reply. “I know what I’m writing about, that’s all.”
