Here's what I read on IMDB.com.
When James Cameron was writing the movie, he intended for the main characters Rose DeWitt Bukater and Jack Dawson to be entirely fictitious. It was only after the script was finished that he discovered that there had been a real "J. Dawson" who died aboard the Titanic. This "J. Dawson" was trimmer Joseph Dawson, who had been born September 1888 in Dublin, Ireland. His body was salvaged and buried at Fairview Lawn cemetery in Nova Scotia with many other Titanic victims. Today, his grave stone (#227) is the most widely visited in the cemetery.
The character of Rose is partially based on California artist Beatrice Wood, who died in 1998 at the age of 105.
I thought this was a wonderful story line in a very tragic time.

no, it's a made up story, but the whole idea of the Titanic is true. it's just a story about a couple who were passengers on the Titanic to better explain what traveling on the Titanic and being in the accident was like.

Ha, I see you were watching Titanic on TNT too. No, I don't think it's true... But I can't be sure. It might be, or it could just be a fiction to make a movie with.
Now that I think about it, I think they really did find the painting and the necklace... But I'm not sure if they found a man and woman to go with them.

No, it's not. There was no Jack like in the movie aboard the ship, but Rose and all other characters were on the ship.

No, they just added it because a movie about two young lovers on a doomed ship sounded better than a movie about just a doomed ship

Nope, it was fiction. Just like the love triangle in pearl harbor was fake. it was the only reason why peeps would watch the movie.

Nope, purely a creation of James Cameron's brain, I'm afraid!

from what I've gathered, but of course no one knows for sure as there was no record of Jack aboard ship

I don't think it is true. I think they might have put them in there to attract people to watch the movie. But the Titanic sinking is, of course, true. =)
