First-Class Lunch Menu

Meals on board fashionable Atlantic liners were considered highlights of each crossing. This luncheon menu from the Titanic's last day shows the generous range of fare, which was designed to please the tastes of bother British and American diners. Seating in the huge first-class dining saloon was assigned, and one generally had the same table companions for the entire voyage. Several survivors of the sinking recalled that there was a wonderful sense of camaraderie on board, that it was almost like a reunion of old friends. One diner teased his table companions by joking that it was too good to last.
