@@TheCAFProduction 🍸To making it count😚

Vintage Traveller well, that’s not surprising, but you can’t blame him either. Most people who work on ships consider them their children in a way, and loosing them is very painful, and loss of life just makes it worse. I build scale model RC ships, but it is the same concept. If I lost one of my ships to the lake I would cry like a baby. When you work on a ship in anyway, to put it simply, they are now a part of you.

@@historicstudios2708 I'm sure that is what it was. He had been through the ship stem to stern. Knowing my grandfather it was the thoughts of the loss of life as well. I don't know if he knew any of the crew but he may have.

@Eric Becker As I said mom was a baby then but she understood that he had started his apprenticeship at the Warnsworth Electric Company in Birmingham, England in 1899. That's the only place that she heard of him working and where he was when the moved to Canada in 1929. We contacted the company but they lost all their old records in the bombing in WW2. My grandfather was the shop foreman and had about a 130 journeymen and apprentices working there. I have tried to find out who supplied the lighting but so far all I have found is that a company was appointed to supply what the ships needed and they in turn found suppliers who supplied their needs with their companies logo on it. I can't find the name of the company again. If you have any information I'd enjoy hearing from you or if I can supply more information I will.

I just found this again. He may have been involved with one of the companies that supplied parts to Perry's. He was a tool and die maker and may have been involved that way. I do wonder if there is still a record of who did what on the Titanic. I hope the link comes up But I Googled, Who made the lighting for the Titanic and a review of a book came up with the information came up. books.google.ca/books?id=3e9ZDgAAQBAJ&pg=PT69&lpg=PT69&dq=what+company+supplied+the+lighting+for+the+titanic&source=bl&ots=BiwVOY6u4L&sig=ACfU3U1xXNFfnjwCstlnkehLWN8l2FiJwg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiYhPSxqc_jAhVLjVQKHY__AjQQ6AEwDXoECAkQAQ

@@jlust6660 On the last cruise I went on, in addition to the various buffet foods, there was also a formal dinner on every night in the grand dining room near the stern of the ship. You have options.

Haha. Well what would they think of the main lounge playing heavy base beats and the accompanied "dancing" to those beats that takes place after 10pm?

"I say, James, since when do chickens have fingers?"

@@historicstudios2708 You could always order room service Lol

dinner on the titanic is terrible I tell you. the bread is completely wet

Fantastic... were they first/second/third class?

Matthew Chaban I think there was only first class plates in the movie so that’s what I’m guessing.

Charles Gentert yeah that sounds right because the second a pond third class dining rooms are never shown, not even in the deleted scenes.

Wow, I'd love to have those! When visiting the travelling Titanic exhibit, I actually touched The Big Piece.

I think the White Star dishes and so on can be purchased even now. They are completely original, as they are the very same, and still manufactured now. I believe you buy them from the very same shop in Southampton that White Star did in 1911/1912. I could be wrong, but I think that is the case?

I read a book about serving meals written in the 1890s which specified a ladle spoon of soup for each person.

Baby boomers

When we begin to go to restaurants in shorts and flip-flops?

David you should have mentioned the long picnic styled tables for 3rd class. That was a major difference.

My GF and I went to Olive Garden over the weekend. I know it’s the Olive Garden...so a chain restaurant and not fancy...but it looks kind of fancy inside, servers are dressed sharply, nice wine menu, nice music and dim lighting...but the people who dined there. Holy shit. I could go to the backwoods of deliverance and find more appropriately dressed folks. Girls in crop tops and daisy duke shorts. Men in stained T-shirts and wrinkled shorts with dirty feet and flip flops. Made us feel foolish being dressed in decent outfits for dinner (I had khaki slacks and a polo shirt with loafer type shoes, GF had a casual but very pretty dress and heels). People were definitely staring at us as if we were weirdos. I miss the idea of fine dining. I guess I need ante up, and start to pick restaurants where it is $50-100+/plate. 💵💵🍽💵💵 Find people with some table manners and refinement.

@@mary-sb1zk ironically there were no SJWs then. Today's world is all window dressing without substance

Apparently in many rich and wealthy circles and nice restaurants still eat this way with many courses

I had a multiple course dinner at a wedding that lasted I think I remember, 3 hours. It was marvelous. Each portion was large enough to gratify yet small enough to appetise you for the next course in a half hour or so. Everyone ordered from the fish menu but I'm not a fan, and ordered from the meat menu instead. Best steak I've ever had. I should go eat dinner at that hotel again some time.

I just sailon the Costa Pacifica to Europe and we had six course and utensils removed after each course . I cruise Americanships a lot andnever had so many utensil changes

@@conniecrawford5231 I wonder why the next utensils aren't simply brought in with the next course? Must be an antique custom

Too exhausting. Now I wonder if they had room service.

Hell 3rd class eats better than me

@@bloro2812 And me too.

kindness and civility never go out of style...my grandmother had silver plate soup spoons which she taught us how to use. We learned to eat our morning cereal using them..out of soup bowls. This brought back some memories for me..

Yeah Ive only ever heard it caled a la Russe...never heard silver service in my entire life because 'silver service' is what you call the silver pieces themselves...

Elizabeth Shaw they should, if you want to pay an arm and a leg that is. Eating at restaurants this fancy is not cheap.

@@historicstudios2708 believe me I know about the prices! Growing up we went to these sorts of restaurants but the only one left now is my mother and is a good inheritance coming someday although it can't replace family but she was horribly abusive and still is. Gordon Ramsay is a friend of mine so whenever I get near any of his restaurants my meals comped. Yay for me but I still would have to get to New York City I think that's the closest and I'm live in Maine and I'm in a wheelchair now. The portions at some of these restaurants are so small for the entire meal and they say will you get a few of them so you'll be full, BS! I can't tell you how many times we went to five star restaurant in left there and had to go and get pizza or something else because we were still hungry.

Take a trip top Europe. I'm currently planning an edwardian style dinner, I have to invest in some new cutlery, I already have, and use, fish knnives and forks and steak knives and cake forks. The last dinner I made was 5 course. And yes each course had a different alcohol to go with it.

@@sashh2263 Wallace grand baroque flatware comes in stainless steel now instead of only in sterling. That being said go on 1stdibs dot com and look up 'antique flatware' and there are several solid silver services for 8,10,12 or more for decent prices considering. You can get a service for 12 with all the serving pieces for 1500-2000 dollars which would cost a fortune if you bought them piece by piece with a silver fork costing over 100 bucks, the forks alone would reach the total price tag...

@@sashh2263 Also, I'm somewhat 'aristocratic' but I actually loathe extreme formality unless its for a special ocassion. I could NOT eat like this daily. It would drive me insane. All one really needs is dinner fork and knife, soup spoon, salad fork (a salad knife is nothing but pretentious for the most part) and a dessert spoon and fork, tea/coffee spoon. Also, if one is on a budget and needs fish knives, I'd just get an extra dinner knife and fork. The only part I like about a full service is the alcohol. Madiera wine and sherry are not drank enough today!

Same but I never went to the U.S. xD

😢😢😢

That's very true! They seemed to eat a lot more heartily (any maybe healthier) in those days compared to all the fast food surrounding us today.

Although in fairness, for most third-class/steerage passengers, this would be a once-in-a-lifetime journey, so why not splurge (relatively)?

L N .... I to poor! Lol just kidding! But I am poor! But sorry madam for speaking to the rich💰 in that manner!.... Lol 😆

The White Star Line tried their best to make 3rd Class passengers have an enjoyable trip, as it would be a once in the lifetime voyage for them.

@@johnking5174 Now THAT'S customer service!! It couldn't hurt their reputation to do so, either. :-)

@@dropkickmurphy4114 White Star Line made 60% of their profit from 3rd class passengers.

The food is vital for any cruise... Especially the third class... Keep them all happy or you will incite a rebellion and even an overhaul...

@@johnking5174 AND they would recommend White Star to friends and famy back home which ensured future business for White Star.

Aboard the Titanic, and perhaps other White Star liners, the crew pulled several 4-hour watches, and also two 2-hour watches; all watches were manned by separate crews. This enabled most crewmembers to have the evening meal, because the two 2-hour watches either ended at 6 PM for one team, or begin at 6 PM for the another team. There is a specific name for the watch which is split into two 2-hour watches, and it was considered a rather posh luxury by career sailors. This type of watch-keeping was called something specific, “boneyard watch,” or something like that. I’m sure many Titanic buffs know the name of this watch-keeping system and can explain it better than I.

@@mh-on7fp Actually I was curious on how the meals worked with the different watches not the watch system itself, i already knew that.

DiegoKevin, I’m sorry I misunderstood your query regarding “crew meals, with their different shifts and all.“ Please clarify what you mean by “how the meals worked with the different watches” for me and perhaps we can find an answer for your question. BTW, since you “already knew about” the watch system I detailed for you, do you by chance know the name of the watch system I described? Try as I might I just haven’t been able to remember what that particular watch system is called.

I am glad you did explain it because I didn't know about that.

@@mh-on7fp Ships usually have 3 watches so that you're not alternating on and off duty. So when I was at sea, 2 of the watches would eat first, while the 3rd was still on duty. At Watch change, the watch that had just come off duty would eat in the second sitting. Daily schedule is set up so there's a watch change at 08H00, noon and 20H00 to cover Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Food was not 1st class fine dining, but it was good, well cooked and plenty of it.

I don't get it.

@@FV4030 It's because the answer of J. Bruce Ismay doesn't make any sense!

Guillaume Lacasse J. Bruce Ismay was the White Star Line chairman

@@Moakmeister I know that but it's not an answer for this questions, a correct answer would be a number like 2 or 3, or the answer is correct if he doesn't care.

Guillaume Lacasse the “yes” thing is a joke. It means there’s a huge number of utensils.

I agree, would love to see a modern restaurant do an accurate 'first class Titanic menu'

Agreed

I hope all this refined knowledge won't be lost for present and future generations

LaDivinaLover good point...I hadn’t thought about it like that. 🤔

3rd Class meals were even better.

@@LuisAlvarado-rj8tc well no but they sure were more classy than today

That's because most cruise ships are not marketed toward the ultra-wealthy. if you're are so wealthy today that you could have afforded 1st class in 1912, then you're not going on cruise ships; you probably own your own yacht.

Not on Carnival Cruise Line! The food there is of the finest quality and in the most elegant dining room i ever see and everyone in fine attire even the ones in sandals who bring in their towels have the most impeccable dining manners... And the kids... Don't get me started about how well behaved and silent all those Princes and Daughters of Adam are on the ship!!!

Could be fun....

Go to a three Michelin Star restaurant and they got 11 course tasting menus just to start with... And a plethora of exotic silver and plate ware accompanying them... It's as close as you can get to traveling back to a more civilized day... But it is expensive- too rich for my blood i'll stick with my Mac n Cheese dinners!!!

Michelle T I know lol. So many ppl eat with their hands and dudes acting like no one today wash they damn hands hahaha !! 👏🏽👏🏽then he compares third class food To being better then what folks would have in their homes. Boy please lol. It’s not a question of what is compared to food in the home .., when ur footing a bill traveling across the ocean , just why not give them food and let this dude say and here’s what they had and leave it st that. Like he’s trying to justify any ill treatment toward third class ! Back to the food - Dude doesn’t get that DUHHH , our immune systems are strengthened to a point with us being hands on lol. If we never expose ourselves to anything we can’t withstand anything ., clearly obv. , better to wash hands and avoid contact with potentially sick ppl and always good To not touch anything “ bathroom related “ and then be hands on haha. That’s how ppl get what they wrongly refer to as stomach flu so often .. ppl touch contaminated fecal matter And then put their hands in their mouth or on surfaces their mouth touches. He can’t seriously compete Edwardian society to being somehow further intellectually advanced or knowledgeable than ppl today like that haha. They often did things just for the sake of appearances and status and not being conscientious of airborn illness or contact conditions lol. Heck so many ppl in that era had very unclean conditions as opposed To today’s time lol. Only 2 baths aboard the 3rd class quarters with oh at least 700 ppl or more , perhaps over 1000 having to share facilities to bathe or use the can lol 😂 this dude is trying to be a tad bit too uppity without a cause , I’d say lollol. Cracks me up when ppl act in such a way ! Helps them feel important or secure lol.

I love the second class plates! Those were usually used for the crew too.

That's interesting Karen... I've always thought that too, that the first class design looks rather plain and not so 'first class'.

agreed first class is way too over complicated

I agree!

I guess we get one over the right handed sometimes.

No. they just served the hot and heavy food first, and cold food afterwards.

Serving salad last only complicates digestion and causes constipation and that is the entire reason why its served first today. Raw fruits and vegetables break down or are digested faster so they make you let out a turd faster. However, that turd is just made up of the salad portion as the other foods havent had time to turn to poop yet thus... you become constipated. A bottle of wine with the cork damaged. Eating it first, allows the fruits or veg to turn to poop first without actually squarshin out too fast and by the time the other foods turn to poop that salad poop will squarsh it all out in one big healthy turd.
