April 15th is Titanic Remembrance Day
Titanic provisions that came onboard:
The Titanic was the most luxurious ship afloat at the time and food onboard was a big part of the liner's appeal. Meals were included in the ticket price for nearly all passengers, with the exception of those in the à la carte restaurant. There was enough to cater for 2,200 people on what should have been a week-long voyage. Hefty provisions included 75,000lbs of meat, 11,000lbs of fresh fish, 40 tons of potatoes, 40,000 eggs, 7,000 heads of lettuce, 10,000lbs of sugar, 250 barrels flour, 36,000 apples, 1,500 gallons of milk and 15,000 bottles of ale.

The fourth funnel in this painting is misleading, it was not a
functioning smokestack. It was for aesthetics and ventilation only.
I recognized Molly Brown immediately. Wow, I didn't know they had called Steerage "Third Class." Cool post!
