When the Titanic embarked on it's maiden voyage in April 1912, it was not only the largest liner ever built, it also carried the most
advanced culinary facilities afloat. In three huge galleys, a staff of eighty toiled around the clock to prepare nearly 6,000
meals a day. And for the Titanic's passengers, enjoying Escoffier-inspired fare in the ship's splendid restaurant or a hearty
stew in the third class dining saloon, the meals were the highlight of each day.
"On the night of the wreck our dinner tables were a picture! The huge bunches of grapes which topped the fruit baskets on every
table were thrilling. The menus were wonderfully varied and tempting. I stayed at table from soup to nuts." - Titanic
passenger Kate Buss
Join us for a special dinner package event at the Kirby House you will never forget! The grand White Star Line Ship, "The Titanic"
set sail on April 10, 1912 and sank during it's maiden voyage. The dinners aboard this grand vessel were as spectacular as the
ship herself. Now is your opportunity to sample courses from the last dinner that passengers ate on April 14, 1912, the last
night Titanic was afloat. In the early morning hours of April 15, 1912, Titanic sank to her ocean grave.
"It must be admitted that a very large fraction of our time was spent in dressing and undressing. We were forever changing our
clothes, a custom that necessitated traveling with a mountain of luggage." - Lady Cynthia Asquith
Reproducing the Titanic's marvelous food is surely one of the best ways to experience a bygone age of luxury and leisure. Thanks
to the testimony of eyewitnesses and the survival of several actual menus - including the final dinner in both first and second class
- what the Titanic's passengers ate will be re-created to a remarkable degree of authenticity. Through the most revealing of
social customs, the preparation and consumption of food, "Last Dinner Aboard the Titanic" will provide a wonderful window into the
social life of an Edwardian age steaming unwittingly toward oblivion.
"It was a brilliant assembly - contentment and happiness prevailed." - First-class passenger Elmer Taylor"
