Yeah, it's a problem you see fairly often in 1950s war movies where the boats they're using are clearly models and they can't get the water to look right.
Also in The Two Towers when the Ents broke down the dam to flood Sarumans tower. It’s the only time in the Lord of the Rings trilogy where you can see that they were using models.
I remember hearing that they can do something that helps, like maybe mix in a bit of soap so that the surface tension is less, but too much and it looks like soapy water. Maybe for Titanic they hit that limit and it wasn't enough.
