Titanic - how it looked?

Question

I'm mostly going by the movie for this question, but i see it in paintings of the ship also - why when the titanic is viewed at an angle does the ship seem to be at an odd arch? Like it seems somewhat bent?

Just wondering if its how our eyes perceive things, or if its how the ship was built.

thanks!

Answer 1

Could be the focus point of the camera, to make the vessel appear larger.

Answer 2

more dramastic or something
