Introduction: Overview of the 1,500 Passengers and Crew Who Lost Their Lives

On the night of April 14, 1912, in the last hours before the Titanic struck the iceberg, passengers in all classes were enjoying unprecedented luxuries. Innovations in food, drink, and decor made this voyage the apogee of Edwardian elegance.

This episode is the first in a series I’m doing with Titanic historian Veronica Hinke called “Last Night on the Titanic.” In it we look at individual accounts of tragedy and survival from the figures that made up the passengers and crew of the ship. They include millionaires, artists, fashionistas, bakers, cookers, musicians, doctors, and con-men.

To recreate the experience of what it was like to be on the Titanic before disaster was on anyone’s mind, Veronica also goes into detail of the food and drink consumer on the ship, from tripe soup eaten by a third-class passenger to the fancy dessert eaten by a Edwardian lady.

I still don't know what people's opinions are about the Titanic being switched and actually being the Olympic but just having the name plate switched so meaning. Titanic actually became the Olympic and the Olympic actually became the TitanicI absolutely love this first episode I'm so excited to hear the rest of them these two people on this show are so entertaining and so nice so fun and they really do know their history they can put me to a contest and it would be very close call.
