How to Take a First Class Trip on the Titanic | Edwardian Era History & Steamship Travel Etiquette

[@evelynwilson1566]

Your comment about 'all things' being acceptable on a steam ship reminds me of my Gran. She was a Lady's Maid in the 1930s. Her 'mistress' travelled on the Queen Mary and of course my Gran went with her. At that time, women were not allowed on deck after a certain time at night. My Gran was friendly with the her employers' chauffeur, and she had short hair, so she borrowed some clothes from him and went to the top deck after hours. Mum' s got a photo of Gran (dressed as a man) and the Chauffeur posing together. I never did find out if her boss knew what was going on🤣

Interesting thing; so much of the information we hear about the Titanic focusses on first class and third class, and I can understand why. It makes sense. We almost never hear anything from second class though, the forgotten middle child of the ship. I do wonder about it though, especially considering it's where I most likely would have been.

[@CandraJade84]

Yes, I would love to learn more about 2nd class as well, especially who the people in there were. People going on vacation like first class or more wealthy immigrants? What I know is that the best rooms in 2nd class were very similar to the basic first class rooms. The difference was that many amenities of the ship like the swimming pool and the restaurants were only for first class passsengers.

There is something delightfully dark about the idea that your present self is transported back to 1912 to ride on the Titanic and your first instinct is not to tell anyone what's about to happen Great video! Always love more information about the Titanic

[@reginajanelilianapatterson5838]

You kidding? I'd figure out a way to make it so the lookouts can see the iceberg sooner or make a point to emphasize the fact that a head-on collision would not have sunk the ship... and nope! I don't care about the consequences on history. The timeline will adapt and anyone here in this timeline today wouldn't be affected by it. Anything that prevents the sinking would cause an alternate history to start at the point any change to history's course was initiated, meaning ALOT more history between 1912 and now would be VERY different. Honestly, I'd be very curious to see what would happen if someone we know died in this timeline (or don't know died because we don't know who they were in the aftermath) didn't die in another timeline and what they'd go on to do... or what their descendants would go on to do. What would 2024 look like had Titanic never sank? The way I'd expect time travel to actually occur (while explaining why we never knowingly run into any time travelers to begin with) is that if someone were to go back in time to any point in history, any changes that WILL happen simply by virtue of being there (nevermind any deliberate changes to history) would result in an alternate timeline in line with the "many worlds theory". Time travelers will never cross paths with anyone in our present timeline to their memory as we know it, the grandfather paradox or any other temporal paradox has no effect on our current timeline and thus is virtually meaningless, and the time traveler would simply go on experiencing the passage of history according to the results of anything they do either deliberately or inadvertently with no one in this timeline any the wiser. I'm willing to bet money someone's done it already, but we'd never know.

This would be my story then, thanks to your video: I am Cole J. Reeves (b. 1889), son and heir to a nouveau riche American couple. After growing up spending endless summers in Newport, I've become quite an adventurer with the excuse of studying history and geography. I started traveling to the Wild West, Canada and the Arctic, but have come to enjoy Mediterranean cruises and expeditions to the Egyptian desert. There, in Alexandria in 1910, I met Michael (b. 1886), a tennis player with my same dissolute life, since he is the son of the Marquesses of Bly. We fell in love and started a clandestine romance while traveling through Europe: Andalusia, Portugal, Provence, Switzerland, Bavaria and Venice. We have been at the Lido for months before leaving for Paris... One night we went to dinner at Maxim's, at 3 rue Royale, and there an advertisement attracts our attention. It is going to set sail for New York, making a stopover in France, the largest steamer ever built. It's called Titanic! We bought the tickets for the Titanic at the agency that White Star has open in Paris, at 9 rue Scribe, right in front of the Opera House. We bought a joint ticket (17758) for £108, including two cabins; one for us and one for Hargreaves, our footman. The butler will stay in Paris to answer the letters from our families, to whom we do not tell that we are continuing our journey. Early in the morning of Wednesday, April 10, we take a taxi to the Saint-Lazare railway station to catch the train that will take us to the port of Cherbourg, where we will board the Titanic. Happy as always, we are far from suspecting the tragic fate that awaits us. We've reserved a compartment on C deck, just three levels below the upper deck. The splendid cabin C-65 is located in the starboard bow sector and has sea views. However, the idiot Lord Whitby is also on board with his horrible mother. They have hated us since I refused to marry the late lady Lili Rothes... I hope they don't sit us next to them in the dining room.

And no images from the 1997 film, not a single one. Well done. This was a nice departure from the Regency and Victorian worlds that you already research so well. This piece is well up to your standard. Many details I didn't know, especially concerning the elaborate luggage arrangements and the segregated trains. A different dress every evening OMG! Apparently the luxury angle was the White Star line's main marketing strategy, so they laid it on thick.

[@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102]

The White Star Line was pretty big on that "our ships won't break any speed records, and it'll take you an extra day to make the crossing compared to Cunard, but you'll forgive that because of the more luxurious accommodations" thing. Actually, it was such that when Cunard commissioned the _Aquitania_ to complement the _Mauritania_ and _Lusitania_ (and thus give Cunard three big ships for their weekly transatlantic service), they decided to borrow a page from the White Star Line's playbook in designing her, so she was more opulent than her older sisters. (The _Aquitania's_ initial entry into service as a passenger liner in 1914 was cut short by World War I, forcing her to be repurposed as a troop transport through December 1918; then after 22 years as a passenger liner, she saw use as a troop transport again in World War II, and was finally decommissioned at the end of 1949).

A single woman who was a neighbor would stagger back to her stateroom at 4:00 AM each morning.

[@julijakeit]

What I feel like what gives better understanding in how expensive (or cheap) something used to be in the past is not the inflation but cost of living comparison. While 18 000 per person sounds already expensive, in reality the ticket was far more expensive in today's money. 220 pounds back in 1912 was the equivalent of the entire pay of 1-2 years of someone like a land steward or house steward (very upper-class servant) probably equivalent to a wealth manager in today's terms of a super rich who earned between 100 and 300 pounds a year in 1900s, 4 years entire salary of a chef would earn around 50 pounds a year and 7-8 years of the entire salary of a lady's maid who earned around 30 pounds a year. That's the ticket alone. Let's not forget the insanely expensive dresses and accessories, cars, suits and all sorts of possessions the rich changed 3-4 times a day! One dress could cost up to a 1000 pounds!

That was interesting. It would be interesting to learn more about the servants trip. What would the ladies maid or valet do during the voyage? Besides dressing their employers, etc. Where did they eat? Did they have to work all the time, keeping the clothes neat and clean etc. Could they ever have fun?

[@sagatheshapeshifter]

It depends on their employer, their job, the reason they're travelling, etc. For example, if you were a lady's personal maid, you'd probably be housed nearby your employer's cabin (at the very least, you'd still be in first class), you'd take your food in the maid's and valet's saloon on C deck, and you might be called on by your employer throughout the day to assist in changing or personal matters. Other travelling servants were listed as 'not wanted during voyage' similar to those wanted or not wanted stickers put on luggage. They usually travelled in second class. Now, though a servant might still be working for their employer, they were still considered first class passengers. You wouldn't see them in the pantry, cooking, or folding laundry. The cabins had dedicated stewards and other crew for that.

[@pricegrisham2998]

In addition to the Olympic and the Titanic, I believe there was a third ship called the Britannic, forming a sort of trinity; it launched shortly before WW I, and so served until 1915 as the world's largest hospital ship, when it was sunk that year by enemy forces. Many of the Edwardian rules for ship travel stayed the same right up until the early 1960's (see Countess from Hong Kong and An Affair to Remember), including not dressing for dinner the first night, and on some cruise ships today there is a faint echo of it by requesting "dressy casual" at dinner (no jeans, haha).

I think of the servants in the movie Parent Trap. The servants must have been excited about the trip and their own social circles (different but no less an authentic life experience)

[@emmaluxe268]

I'm so glad that you asked this as I was wondering as well!

[@sballantine8127]

Seriously???

Hi Ellie, I’m a new subscriber and I have been enjoying your content and finding out more about first class life through the ages. The Edwardian era and the story of the Titanic is really fascinating, especially the social dynamics. I have visited the Titanic museum in Belfast and the dry dock where the ship was built. It really gives you a true sense of the size of the ship and the museum has mock ups of the first and third class cabins so you can see the differences in luxury between them. I highly recommend you visit if you ever find yourself on this side of the pond. 😊

1) Edwardian clothes analyses + repro demonstrations are on youtube with Bernadette Banner, etc. 2) Several decades ago, BBC showed a current simulation reality TV series called Edwardian House ?

This was so enjoyable!

[@lorireel8582]

Ellie, I love your page! It is just the best!!

[@thecatlady3501]

Can you please do a video on the 2nd class experience? I feel like first and third are always covered but 2nd is rarely mentioned.

[@EllieDashwood]

That’s such a good point! Second is so overlooked!

[@merce8074]

Excellent video, Ellie!😊🙋‍♀️👍

[@Brunette_Rapunzel]

I would've loved the reading room. :)

[@DawnOldham]

Greetings, Miss Dashwood! I’ve recently found your channel and have been bingyeing on it ever since! Pride and Prejudice is my favorite book/movie and I’m enjoying the fact that you are going over so many aspects of its content. Most of my reading is historical fiction, and I love learning our past verbal expressions and the clothing worn at that time. Your channel was made just for people like me! By the way, your cheerful demeanor and pleasant voice make your videos all the more fun to watch! I can’t wait to watch your channel reach more people and grow to be well past a million subscribers!

[@GoldenGarden9]

Ellie, I'm always intrigued by any info that passes by my radar on the Titantic but your deep-dive research and entertaining presentation is truly over-the-top. Thank you SO much :)

[@thebatmary5954]

I was unreasonably excited to hear that we had an arch nemesis.

[@essbee1641]

Love Titanic and love your storytelling!

Thank you for this absolutely great video. Very much enjoyed it.

[@erikalovelace2705]

I would love to see another video about this from any other passenger perspective as well!

[@Richardsonprincess00]

Hoping to learn about the social session in the Edwardian era soon...

[@JesReally]

It’s amazing how much of this has carried over to modern day cruise ships, I woulda expected them to be more different but a lot of it is similar

[@Nico.Vaquero]

Ok, this was amazing, You should do more of this types pf vídeos

[@MichalZismanReactions]

I like the rose-running-to-jump look you have here 🙂

[@lululatsch]

Loved the video! Really interesting! :) Could you do one about being a house guest in this sort of time? I've always wondered about it, when I've seen it on TV or read about it on novels. Thank you :)

[@marissahermancarr1386]

Your tiny boa is giving me LIFE

[@michelleblanz7100]
