• According to Thiago Lacerda, he invited Ana Paula Arósio for a theater production in commemoration for this series' 20th anniversary, in 2019. Through a contact, she declined. "This person explained it all, but I don't know how [the invite] reached Ana. To be honest, I never talked to her again [...]. It's sad, because it'd be wonderful to do a new project with her, twenty years later". Arósio abruptly left Irrational Heart (2011) (and Brazilian telenovelas as a whole) during filming and has only made sporadic appearances in movies since then.

• The ship used for filming is the S.S. Shieldhall, built in 1940 and found by the crew at Shouth England.

• Originally set to end at the end of the year 2000, but Benedito Ruy Barbosa worked on the storyline to end at World War II after the positive reception of his characters.
