- The role of Bobby Shaftoe was originally intended for Nicolas Cage, but the actor was forced to decline participation due to commitments to other projects.
- Although the "Crow's Nest" bar does exist in Gloucester, it is not actually located in the docks as depicted in the film.
- The 'Lady Grace,' a nearly exact replica of the 'Andrea Gail,' was used for the filming of the movie. Upon completion of production, the 'Lady Grace' was purchased by one of the Boston Legal Sea Foods restaurants and currently sits at a pier in Gloucester, serving as a floating memorial to the fishermen who lost their lives at sea.
