Reply to comment by BostonUniStudent in TIL that the civilian ship pilot in Dunkirk is based off a real person - Charles Lightoller, the second officer of the Titanic who sailed his own ship to save 127 servicemen at Dunkirk by flotiste

Well apparently he also saved 127 people, rather than the ~30 in the film. But if you didn't know it was ahistorical until now, why did it take you out of the movie?!
