Hello everyone! I'm a new collector of WSL china, and have this wonderful 9" dinner plate. While the piece does not have a date of manufacture on the reverse, it does have several unique marks that I am unable to identify, even after extensive research. Are they significant or simply...

I was wondering about loo visits for first class passengers during dinner in the dining saloon. Surely with the duration of time and amount of liquid consumed both before and during dinner, a trip to the loo was inevitable. Would passengers politely excuse themselves to other passengers at...

Looking at the deckplans I noticed that there is a pantry aft of the 1st Class Lounge of A Deck. I was wondering if it's known what food could be ordered by passengers in the Lounge.

A beautiful colorization of a 1912 picture from Titanic's Dining Saloon. But wait... somebody said this was Olympic's. Could this be possible?

Hello all, I know that the ship's officers had their own mess as it were, but were they expected to eat in the first class dining saloon if they weren't on duty at the bridge? Did they act as hosts? Thanks, ~Matt

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone knows where the victualling crew (stewards, cooks, etc.) ate? Did they use the passenger dinning rooms when the passengers were not eating? Thanks

I thought you might enjoy seeing how a chef prepares and presents the First Class Dinner shown on the last menu from Titanic.

Does anyone know the original colour and pattern of the upholstery to the chairs in the A La Carte Restaurant? Thanks

Hello all! I am curious about dinner attire. From my understanding, it was customary for men to wear hats and gloves most of the time during this period, removing gloves to eat. Would most of the men at dinner in First Class be wearing hats? In the scene in Titanic (1997), there isn't a hat in...

Hi As the title asks, can anyone tell me the type of fabric used on Lusitania's class 1st class dining chairs? I thought at first it may be velvet, but velvet is not a practical fabric to use in a dining area. Cheers Jason

Anyone tell me when scotland road , the grand staircase , and the first class dining room flooded? Here is my prediction. Grand Staircase : 2:10 when A Deck was flooding , Boat deck level 2:15 as dome imploded. First Class Dining Room: 1:55 as double doors of dining room slowly creaked...

Did the dining saloon flood like in Cameron's film? Or was it more violent? Were the port and starboard entrance doors closed and locked? Were both left open? Or was one set open and the other closed? There is no evidence of either doors on the wreck either due to everything crashing forward/the...

I just wondering if someone knows the size of the stained-glass windows in 1st class Reception Room and Dining Room?

What were the popular foods way back in the Gilded Age? Obviously a lot of things have changed since then. Were there any specifically popular dishes?

I have a beautiful rare White Star Line Blue delft Pattern dinner Plate identical to those on Titanic on Ebay now. Proceeds will go to my Empress of Ireland museum fund.

Hi!! I found online a menu of the Titanic, which is a meal that I did not identify. The format of the picture is small and I do not see very well, but says "Zingars" or something. Could anyone tell me what it is? thank you very much

Can a maid eat with their employers? I made a story and I'm wondering, if Lucy, a personal maid of Abigail and Kelly Campbell can eat with them on ALa Carte or any where... Lucy had a full paid first class ticket and she is a close friend with the two..... can she eat ?

I had a chat with the owner of the house with the recently discovered Olympic Restaurant Panels this evening and he's making plans for a Titanic themed event with a meal inpired by the Titanic's restaurant menus at his house in the next few months. Just to ask, would you be interested in...

At 3:41 p.m (Pacific time) CNN World news reported that Henry Aldrige is auctioning a TITANIC menu, dated 14 April. The menu survived, as in most cases, by means of having been inserted into the pocket of a woman survivor, and as of this day is in possesion of a direct descendant...of which the...
