My grandmother was supposed to travel on the Titanic with her sister, third class. The sister's passport was messed up somehow and they couldn't travel. I thank the fates for that because not too many third-class people survived. I am the second generation to be born in America. Some people don't believe this. My father was the youngest child born in his family, just like me. I'm close to 70 now. It was, indeed, a fact. We have her old passport and ticket in the photo album.

I just googled when was passports first issued and it did say that they were issued not until during the First World War and after the war bc for International travelers weren’t required to have passports in 1912 as they were coming over to America and becoming U.S citizens and they had to be inspected by health officials at Ellis island before being allowed to the port authority in New York and being allowed to wander around the city of Manhattan. I’m glad that your grandmother wasn’t on the RMS Titanic and it wasn’t planned or expected for the ship to sink. As many of those passengers were coming to America to start a new life and be with families that we’re already living over here already 🥺

Traveling first class on the Titanic must have been a thrilling experience. In my opinion luxury travel by sea should make a major comeback. A sea voyage has got to be more comfortable and leisurely than a flight. I mean sure airplanes are faster but part of the fun of travel is getting somewhere not just being somewhere. Edit: I am referring to ocean liners not cruise ships.

That's asking for a lot. The last cruise I went on--with a premium line, no less--there was barely a handful of men wearing tuxedo on the "formal" nights (now tackily called "gala" or "dress to impress" nights). More women got dressed up (revealing a certain sexism in the social expectations) than men; but, they were still in the minority. I saw people around the ship in the evening wearing jeans and even shorts and gaudy print t-shirts (like a wolf howling at the moon or skeleton on a motocycle gaudy print); the kind of stuff I'd wear to do maintance work or painting around the house. The second formal night, I wore a black velvet jacket with black tie; so, I blended in with the other men in tux. But, I was completely alone wearing a white jacket tuxedo the first formal night (it was a Mexican Riviera cruise) on a ship with some 2500 passengers. I stood out so much that, as the voyage went on for the rest of the week, I heard more and more crew, in different parts of the ship, calling me Mr Bond. The bar has sunk incredibly low.

@@bayousbambino427 I guess it depends on how one defines luxury. For me, luxury includes the freedom to dress casually. In 1912, society was very formal. I think you're correct that this sort of formality is not likely to return anytime soon. I do consider cruising far more luxurious than plane travel, regardless of cruise line chosen. It's not everyone's cup of tea. I've been on one cruise, which I'd rate four of ten stars, but compared to airline travel, which would be lucky to rate one star, it's fantastic (assuming one has the time).

Wonderful video. Well done! 14:54 The Ala Carte Restaurant was a "franchise' restaurant that was available only to those who had chosen to prepay for the amenity when they purchased their tickets, the adjoining café Parisian was not extra. The Café was unique on the ship since it was an indoor room with ivy covered walls made to look like an outdoor street café common in France at the time. During the voyage it is said that the café Parisian was the favorite meeting place for the younger first class passengers, . In latter remodels, Titanic's identical sister ship, the Olympic 's version of the Café Parisian was removed and added to the Ala Carte Restaurant to make it larger. In Olympics last remodel in the 1920s the Carte Restaurant was completely removed and the entire space became a ballroom . The ballroom was added because by the 1920s during the Flapper generation, dancing between unmarried men & unchaperoned woman (usually group dances like "the Charleston") were more acceptable in high society. Originally Titanic was supposed to have a first class nursery opposite to the deck space occupying the Gymnasium 6:07 but the design change was made too late to be incorporated into Titanic for its first voyage. . This feature was added latter to Olympic and the ill fated Britannic. 7:47 the swimming pools on Olympic & Titanic were the first liners ever to have such a feature, they were very plane considering the other very detailed rooms in first class. The swimming pool on latter Britannic was very luxurious by comparison. 10:41 supposedly the first class library had a copy of the book The Wreck Of The Titan whos fictional plot mirrors the tragic sinking of the Titanic. 10:37 the Reading and Writing room on Titanic, according to Thomas Andrews, who was tasked with suggesting improvements on the Titanic's maiden voyage, was almost never used. It was his suggestion that the room be made smaller & that the part of the room at 10:51 be turned into a small stateroom for passengers. A change that was carried out on Olympic. 2:54 The wire mess baskets that were available in every first class stateroom was a small but practical feature Andrews had suggested. The dark wood paneled sitting room you see photographed at 2:17, 2:26 & 2:39 is the real version of the famous Rose being drawn by Jack nude scene in the film. You will notice that unlike the film, the room's fireplace did not have a mirror over the mantle but a silk tapestry depicting nature. In real life this suite was occupied by Abraham & Ida Strauss who are the elderly couple you see in the film who refuse to leave the ship. 13:26 Just in case you were curious you were not expected to finish your plate with those multi course meals in first class. Most people would take only a few bites of every course knowing that by the end they would be full. 14:03 Even though the men's smoking room was reserved for men only, Molly Brown would smoke cigars and have drinks in that room during the voyage. In a deleted scene from the film you see her in that room. 14:40 The grand staircase on Titanic & Olympic had clear stained dark oak paneled walls like we see in the film. By the 1920s remodel of the Olympic its Oak Paneling on the grand staircase was restrained in a light green color as a way to update the space to changing styles. 3:12 it is ironic that Olympic & Titanic were known for having such a high ratio of bathrooms to passengers for its time.. One of the main reasons the surviving ocean liners like Olympic were eventually taken out of service and scrapped was because by the 1930s Ocean travel was focused more on the 'Tourist Class' and in newer ships every stateroom in first & second class was expected to have its own bathroom. Lacking this feature sealed the fate of the old liners including Olympic.

Rose's suite in the film is the suite B52, which Cameron chose to style after the Straus' suite, C55. The real suite, B52, was not occupied by the Strauses but instead occupied by J. Bruce Ismay, the chairman of the White Star Line, who is played by Jonathan Hyde in the film. Additionally, the deleted scene in which Margaret "Molly" Brown is drinking while the iceberg passes her is located in the non-smoking section of the verandah café, not the smoking room where the men were.

You would have been a stoker. There was huge wealth inequality then. The Queen Mary 2 makes regular transatlantic runs. If you have the cash, look at reviews of the first class experience, especially the upper first class experience, on the Mary and see if it's worth doing. If you want to replicate the experience door to door as much as possible, go eastbound because these people took trains to get to their ultimate destinations and passenger train service in the US is teh suxxors. If you don't want to do that but are interested in the sea experience, I say the thing to do is look at cruises that are more nautical, like around the Horn (southern tip of South America), or something like Norwegian fjords or Aegean Isles, where taking your hotel room with you is a huge benefit. I'm trying to stir up my friends to take a Norwegian Fjords cruise next year.

First class passengers only could have early morning tea or coffee along with toast and breakfast pasteries served to them in their state rooms from 7am, along with a copy of Titanic's own daily newspaper called the Atlantic Daily Bulletin. It was prepared by the ship's first class purser and wireless operators who had access to daily news, stock market news, sporting news, society news, advertisements and some information about the ship.

As a first class passenger, I would have gotten up and bathed, dressed, had ONE breakfast, walked the promenade deck for awhile, went swimming, played a little squash, visited the gym, then the Turkish bath. Then lunch, and more swimming, probably, and walking the promenade again. I would not have had food at teatime, just a drink or two. Then dinner, and another walk on the promenade, chatted with friends, drinks in the bar, then bed. (Jan Griffiths).

There's been talk about Titanic II for years now, always getting put off, and though it's said that it would cost billions of dollars to build, I really do believe the ship would easily pay for itself in revenue. There's just so many of us that would give anything to sail aboard the Titanic, possibly even multiple times, that I really do feel like the new ship would be wildly popular and reservations so backed up that it could be a decade or more before you finally got your chance. There's only one remaining ocean liner in the world (Queen Mary II) and obviously air travel has eliminated the need for liners, not to mention cruise ships, and the Titanic II would attract so many people wanting to take actual voyages among the seas, even if just for the hell of it.

It's so interesting that in some scenes her hair is up and others her hair is down. As she is already out in society her hair I would imagine would be in up do a majority of the day. Though in scenes where she is having tea with her mother in the lounge, it flashes to the young girl getting chided by her mother and then proceeds to show Ruth and the other woman discussing Rose in front of her like she is a child. Then shows her with her hair down.. as she would have worn it as a child or before she was out to society.

The first class menu was fantastic - but heavy in meat. I am a vegetarian and in those days they did not have meat replacements such as soya and Quorn. The Olympic, the sister ship of Titanic, continued to sail up until the second world war. Then it was dismantled with some of the fixtures being sold off to London pubs. The Olympic could have been used as a floating hotel, where people could have enjoyed the Titanic experience. I believe there have been two attempts to rebuild Titanic, one by an Australian billionaire named Clive Palmer and another by a Japanese company. Both have run into financial difficulty and both ships remain incomplete. Palmers version was meant to sail, but I would be extremely hesitant about travelling on any ship named Titanic.

@@maximesaindon3552 It's not fate. It's bad decisions in both designing the ship and causing the wreck itself. If the double plating went much higher into the hull, if the bulkheads was made water tight at the top, Titanic would've stayed afloat. The captain knew about the iceberg risks in the area at this time of year. If they traveled slower under a moonless night of if they took the iceberg head on, Titanic would've stayed afloat. A sea worthy replica would have these modifications and better leadership.
