The hull of the Titanic is 269 meters long, 28 meters wide, and the height from the bottom to the upper deck is 31,68 meters. There are a total of 39 presidential suites and 416 deluxe rooms, and there were as many as 324 millionaires living here at that time.
Benjamin Guggenheim was traveling on the Titanic with French singer Leontina Orbart, while his wife and three daughters were at home in New York, so it's fair to say that men in upper class are not around The newlywed Yan'er's sweet wife is a young and beautiful beauty, so the food in the first-class cabin should be very particular and different.
The picture below is the first class menu, their first appetizer for dinner is oysters, can you imagine it? Perhaps the captain understands that the rich are usually too busy, so he set the tone for their dishes, mainly focusing on nourishing the body and highlighting the taste. There are ten dishes in total.
The luxurious dinner officially starts at 7 pm. Before entering the restaurant, the millionaires will gather in the VIP reception area in the middle of the deck, where there is a special pianist to play for them, because the rich usually have to wait for the women in full dress to attend. So you need to set up a waiting area specifically for men.
The central staircase here can be connected to the second and third class cabins. Friends who have watched the movie should have the impression that this is also one of the classic places where Rou Si and Jack meet.

The third-class fare is 7 pounds. It is located between the F deck and the G deck. The first half of the F deck is second class, and the second half is third class. Because the engine noise at the rear is relatively loud, it is also the most comfortable living experience on board. poor area.
And the G deck is the last deck above the waterline. At that time, the tourists here were all in order to go to the United States to pan for gold, and were forced to squeeze into a 12-person Datong shop, where you can't see anything but shredded pork. RongDressed up woman. There are also no ornate decorations, and couples are forced to live apart in order to survive. But no one thought that such a humble life would accompany this cruise ship to the bottom of the vast Atlantic Ocean.

Their food is mainly starchy food , there are oatmeal , baked potatoes , sweet corn, rice soup. Vegetables and fresh fruits are extremely precious foods on board. Because they are not well preserved, only the upper class can enjoy them, and they are left with only pickled vegetables and meat, about one serving per meal. It can be said that they are the most miserable type of people on the Titanic. They can't see the sun all day long, and even their last meal is so humble.

At that time, the passengers on the ship were all looking forward to their futures, some were resting in their rooms, and some were continuing to drink champagne.
