Answers:
I helped my cousin create a similar theme. She painted the walls in various shades of blue. One of the neatest things that she did was build artifact boxes. She went to an auction and bought a couple box lots of old things (tarnished and broken mirror, some old silverware, a broken cup, a beaded wallet, etc). I think she spent about $7. She also printed out some old pictures from the Internet (about wallet size) and stained them with tea. Then she took various sizes of picture frames, took the back off and glued pieces of wood to the back to give it depth. She covered cardboard with felt and hot glued the "artifacts to the felt to make a display box like from a museum. I think she ended up with five. She also bought an old unusable instrument and laid it on a table in the corner with an old looking light. It was really neat. I know that she had done some Internet research to find pictures of the Titanic wreckage to use for inspiration. She bought a reproduction of a newspaper that headlined the sinking of the Titanic from eBay. She framed it and put it above her bed. It really turned out fabulous. You might want to try some of those ideas. Best of luck!
How about different shades of blue. Have an ocean painted on one of the walls. Use large sea shells as decorative items .
you could go queen anne style like the decor on titanic was.
I like the first idea, but i think you should make it maybe a few different shades of blue and music notes throughout the room.
Make them scattered but still in a line .
Here is a great print that you could include in your room:

Here is one that is music related, but also fits in with the era of the Titanic, I think:
