Another Successful "Last 1st Class Dinner" Voyage!

This year's "Last 1st Class Dinner on the Titanic" was indeed monumental! Not only did our "ship" sail on April 14 (albeit 2018), we celebrated our evening with both new and returning guests.

This year's feast featured the return of our dear Violet Jessop, who in her "unsinkable" style, engaged us all with her tales of new theatre adventures. The sociable and regal Col. and Mrs. Astor arrived in grand style despite the torrential rains that evening. Mr. Guggenheim and guest (the beautiful and elegant Mme. Leontine Aubert) were so lovely, full of grace and good hearted humor. Joining us anew was the ever vivacious, Lady Duff-Gordon, dressed to the nines in her basic black and adorned with a luxurious red fur cape which she created only that morning. And rounding out this eclectic group of diners was none other than Major Archibald Willingham DeGraffenreid Clarendon Butt. Who else, but Major Butt, would arrive not only in full white tie but also carrying a vintage, hooded camera!

Oh, the merriment! The meal, far superior to previous attempts, was overwhelming in flavor and volume. Thank goodness for the Punch Romaine and our "7th Inning Stretch" which gave us the opportunity to stand up and let everything settle down.

Stories, jokes, laughter and friendship surrounded the table and filled the room. We are beyond grateful for the opportunity to bring together such an unique collection of dear friends. After 7 hours, they all departed to their next destination and the Captain, Violet and I collapsed, happy and exhausted.

God Speed and Good Luck, dear friends and guests! Here's to yet another dinner next year!
Warmly,
~Eleanor and the Captain

Making Plans for Another Culinary Adventure!

April is swiftly arriving in 2018 and we have another incredible Titanic dinner planned.

This year, we will honor the lost and celebrate the survivors with a "Last 1st Class Dinner on the Titanic" on April 14 - ironically, the same date that in 1912, the Titanic hit the iceberg.

We do not anticipate any tragedies, oceanic or culinary, at this year's dinner event. Rather, we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of new guests to surround our table and regale us with stories and laughter.

More details to come as we send out invitations and begin the shopping for this amazing dining experience.

Warmly,
~Eleanor
