On the evening of April 14, 1912, first class passengers on the Titanic feasted in the dining saloon with a ten-course meal and paid the equivalent of $124,000 in today’s dollars for the ocean voyage. Several hours later, in the early morning of April 15th, the Titanic sank taking 1,581 passengers and crew.
Titanic sailed during the last years of the Edwardian era before WWI. Food was rich and the privileged ate and drank with great abandon. Bartolotta Catering & Events at the Grain Exchange will re-create our version of one of two 10-course menus recovered from that evening. All served courses will be paired with fine wine and “Captain Smith” will be on deck to greet passengers along with service staff dressed in period costume. Costumes are optional for travelers.
