Here’s what Titanic passengers ate for lunch the day their ship hit the iceberg

620.png

On the afternoon of April 14, 1912, first-class Titanic passengers lunched on a sumptuous array of corned beef, Chicken à la Maryland, and fillet of brill. Approximately 12 hours later, the “unsinkable” ship collided with an iceberg; a mere three hours after that, it sank into the Atlantic.

Among the 705 survivors, a lifeboat filled with wealthy voyagers remained. One of its individuals had saved the menu from the previous day’s afternoon meal. Now, 103 years after the Titanic’s sinking and 30 years after its wreckage was found, the rare document is up for online auction. Its seller, Lion Heart Autographs, expects the menu to fetch as much as $70,000.
