The captain's table : life and dining on the great ocean liners /Sarah Edington.

This book provides an insight into life at sea during the heyday of the Great Ocean Liners by exploring the dishes, menus and dining experiences offered on board. The author looks at the differences in experience between First-Class, Second-Class and steerage passengers, examining aspects of life on board the liners including dress, decor, entertainment and food. Over seventy recipes are included in the book, from soups and main courses to canapâes and puddings, including those featured on iconic ships such as Titanic, Lusitania and the Queen Mary. Drawings, photographs and reproductions of original menu cards from the National Maritime Museum illustrate the glamour and excitement of ocean voyages from the late 19th to late 20th centuries.
