Are there any sources from Titanic or Olympic that provide evidence of what the a-la-carte restaurant waiters wore while serving their guests? I have never seen a photograph of waiters working in the restaurant of Olympic and naturally there are no known pictures of the restaurant waiters on the...

Did Chief Steward Latimer wear a stewards’ badge for identification? How did people identify him how did people know he was the chief steward and not just a random crew member or a random steward?

I can't figure out what kind of uniform the engineering officers were wearing. They had uniforms like deck officers?

Hi everyone I have scoured every source I can think of and so far have found nothing, so I was wondering – does anyone know what the bell boys wore on Titanic? There's plenty of information on what seems like every crew division but theirs. I imagine it's similar to the traditional bell boy...

As far as I can tell most of the crew who weren't Officers or Victualling Crew wore some variation of the White Star Line sweater with a Royal Navy style flat cap or plain jeff cap, depending on their job. So who were the crew members who wore something resembling a Royal Navy sailor outfit...

I have quite few questions about the non-officer deck and victualling crews uniforms if I may. Recently I read an excellent run down of what the deck officers uniforms were here - Uniforms worn by Titanic's officers | William Murdoch Is there any surviving documentation as to what exactly what...

The color typically seen for steward’s coats is white. Recovered from the wreck are steward jackets that are white. James cameron’s Film had saloon stewards in white jackets. BUT - in the only known photo of Titanic’s 1st class dining saloon (taken by father brown), the stewards can be made...

I would be very grateful for the forums help. Did any of the crew carry whistles ? Many thanks

Hello, I've come across several references to the 'Ship's Rules and Uniform Regulations' issued by IMM. I'd like to read this document in its entirety, but so far I've been unable to find a full version. Does anybody know where I could find a copy? I'd prefer the 1907 edition that was in...

Hail readers, Titanic's tragic centenary made me take up an old project: to replicate a very good copy of an officers peaked cap for my collection of interesting headgear. I already altered a modern peaked cap to one that is according to the 1895 royal navy regulations, which meant making...

Greetings, I'm looking for some information concerning kitchen porters on the RMS Titanic. Most specifically, I have the following questions: 1. What did a kitchen porter's uniform look like? 2. What were a kitchen porter's duties? Also, if anyone has anyone information on Kitchen...

Greetings, I'm in need of information concerning the uniform for the Titanic kitchen porters. From what research I've done, the basic uniform seems to be Navy Blue pants and a jacket, with some type of vest and a bowtie. Any additional information or clarifying material would be very much...

Did the firemen, trimmers, stokers, and engineers have certain uniforms they had to wear or did they bring their own clothes? I researched in the bodies found of stokers and they don't seem to all wear the same color clothing.

The film "SOS Titanic" depicts Butt in uniform the entire time of the voyage. Perhaps so viewers could easily distinguish him at the card table in the first class smoking room. Having just read the posted newspaper account of his natty suit the day he left America in March 1912, I cannot help...

Very interesting article...nice detail on the officers' uniforms, and some interesting color photos to go with them. There are a couple of questions that I have about one of the types of uniforms mentioned in the article. The "Court Dress"...was this only worn by the senior officers on those...

Does anyoone know where i can get a costume or uniform for a fancy dress doo that is similar to that worn by officers on the titanic.

I was reading "The Irish Aboard the Titanic" last night and was surprised to learn that Purser McElroy's body was wearing a white steward's jacket when found! I though he would have been wearing his darker coat, especially since he was seen outside a lot that night. Cheers Paul
