You May Have Missed This The First Time You Watched 'Titanic.' The Story Behind It Is Heartbreaking

#1

First, Jack was a dream

Second, it's a love story like we hadn't seen before

And let's be real, the first thing that comes to mind when we think about this love story is when Jack and Rose are at the bow of the ship, and he ‘helps her fly.' Life doesn't get more romantic than that.

However, Jack and Rose's love story isn't the only romantic plot line in the movie. What if we told you that most people never realized that there was another amazing story among the wreckage?

Remember this elderly couple spooning together as the icy waters of the Atlantic rose beneath them? (C'mon folks, it was even part of the trailer!) Turns out they were based on a real couple who died on board of the real Titanic.

#3

The couple founded and owned Macy's department store, but what their friends and family remember about them is the deep love they had for each other. Apparently, the two of them were inseparable.

#4

They boarded the Titanic on April 14, 1912, to return home from their trip to Germany.

#5

When the boat started to sink, Iisidor was offered a spot on one of the lifeboats but he refused immediately.

#6

Why? Well, the sinking ship was still full of women and children so he refused to take a spot that could save a young life.

#7

Ida, who was also offered a spot in a lifeboat, also refused as she was a woman in love and couldn't imagine leaving without Isidor.

#8

The two were last seen seated in chairs on the deck, holding hands while watching the crowd of panicking passengers struggle to reach a lifeboat.

#9

They clung to one another until a wave washed them into the sea. Isidor's body was recovered but Ida's was never found.
