Brock Lovett (May 11,1955- ) was a famed treasure hunter that was known for searching for sunken ships for articles of value. His most famous discovery was the Heart of the Ocean necklace, hidden within the shipwreck of the Titanic. He is portrayed by Bill Paxton.In 1996, Brock Lovett went in search of the valuable Heart of the Ocean necklace, which was supposedly purchased by a rich businessman, named Caledon Hockley (who was a passenger on the Titanic when it sunk and the former owner of the necklace before he gave it to his ex-fiance, Rose, although it was lost in the Titanc's shipwreck). Lovett and his crew went in search of the Titanic using special submersibles from the research vessel, Akademik Keldysh. Before the crew even found the shipwreck, they discovered Hockley's safe located in the suite. They unlocked it to find a portrait of a nude woman (Rose) wearing the necklace, although the necklace was not there. Soon after, Lovett was interviewed about his findings. Rose (now an elderly woman) saw the report and went out to find him, along with her granddaughter, Lizzy (who Lovett often flirted with), after contacting him (despite his little interest in even taking the call) and told him that she knew about the necklace and was the nude woman in the picture. While Brock's friend, Lewis Bodine, told him that he doubted that this woman was telling the truth, Lovett refused to believe that she was a liar, which she was not.Upon her arrival, Rose was encouraged to share her story about sailing on the Titanic. When she had finished telling him about her encounter with Jack Dawson and the horrible sinking of the ship, Brock was no closer to finding the necklace than he was before. Through Rose, Lovett had grown to understand that the Titanic was so much more than just another shipwreck.That night, Rose awoke and attempted to drop the necklace into the ocean. Brock, holding back a rush of anger at the fact that Rose failed to tell him she still had the necklace, tried to stop her from dropping the necklace into the ocean. Rose allowed him to hold it, but threw it back into the ocean anyways. Brock gave up on his hunt for the necklace after that.
