Production Notes
Pre-Production
Production
The American Salvor (now known as the Triton Explorer) was used to represent the 1:1 full scale SS Venture. Four cargo doors were constructed on the deck to represent the cargo hold, although only two of these actually functioned, the two at the rear were strictly decorative.
Filming Miniature
For the scene where the SS Venture crashes into the San Diego dock, a miniature of the ship and dock were created, filmed at high speed and composited with blue screen actors and other particle effects.
