Titanic Exhibition Reveals Last Dinner Menu: Even Third Class Passengers Ate Well

Roast beef, cheeses and fresh fruit: as Il Secolo XIX reports, the exhibition tells the real story of what was actually served to passengers, surprising visitors with the quality of food offered in third class

A Titanic exhibition brings to light a curious and little-known detail from the tragic voyage: the menu of the last dinner served on board. As Il Secolo XIX reports, roast beef, cheeses and fresh fruit were among the dishes served.

The Third Class Surprise

The most interesting finding concerns third class itself, that of the least wealthy passengers. According to the publication, the food was also good there, contradicting the widespread image of poor and spartan meals reserved for those traveling on the cheapest tickets.

The exhibition thus reconstructs, through food, a piece of everyday history of the ship, offering a glimpse into habits and social differences on board the transatlantic liner that sank in 1912.
