Notes for First-class Passengers
Found in their staterooms upon boarding, this booklet told passengers everything
they needed to know during the voyage - from meal times to how to reserve deck
chairs. It reveals much about life on board the Titanic. Women, for example,
were encouraged to retire no later than 11:30am when the lounge closed, whereas
men were allowed an additional half hour in the smoking room but were expected
to be in their cabins by midnight. Indoor and outdoor recreations were recommended
to amuse the passengers, but games of chance were always forbidden on Sundays.
The White Star booklet reproduced here dates from March of 1910, but it is
believed to be virtually identical to the ones used on the Titanic.
