Small question about TITANIC dialogue

Yeah, when the ship hits the berg (Not a spolier!) BELL, the "captain" in the engine room gives orders and does stuff like turn some kind of wheel. He says "Engage the (something- sounds like "reversiation", but it's called reversion".)

Can anyone with the DVD tell me what he says? Can't be reversiation....

Could it be "reverse the engines"? I dont have the DVD (and havent seen the movie in years), but the actual order given was to turn hard port and put 'er into full reverse.

(Historical note - the ship probably would have been better off hitting the 'burg dead on. It still would have been in serious trouble, but wouldnt have sunk as fast. Ah well 20-20 hindsite and everything)
