Tragic Breakfast

Saw this today. 2nd class menu of the S.S. Titanic. Not sure if this was the last breakfast, but if it was....it was memorial. Boilded Hominy and Grilled Ox

That doesn't look so tragic. Lots of choices. The ox is odd, yes. And what are Yarmouth Bloaters? Otherwise, again lots of choices.

Looked it up...bloaters are herring.

Just read a bit this morning that Mr. Hershey (chocolate) had pre paid $300 for a stateroom on the Titanic, but ended up sailing on another ship sooner because of business back home that needed his attention.

Imagine what the first class menu had on it.

(Good thing they weren't serving venison. @MamaWick )

Some unusual choices by today's standards. I see ham and eggs were available which is more to my liking.

I found this for Third Class. They had some tasty offerings too!

Surprised there was no iceberg salad on the menu. Now that would be tragic.

Thank you posters for the menus. Interesting bits of history.

My father's parents both emigrated from Ireland. My dad often had fried kippered herring with his breakfast on the weekends. Always oatmeal and tea during the week. My brothers and I never had the herring!

I saw the Titanic exhibit a few years ago. Well done. It was the salvaged everyday items in the display that brought tears to my eyes.
