Sell Your Lusitania Menu
Unlike the Titanic, that struck an iceberg in the middle of the night, the Lusitania was torpedoed and sank by a German U-boat just after lunchtime.
Like the Titanic, we know that meals were equally luxurious on both ships. Here’s an example of a Lusitania lunch served to those in second class. Diners began their meal with Puree Soubise. The fish course was then Salmon Trout with Dutch Sauce. For the main course diners could choose from Steak and Kidney Pudding, Braised Veal with Lemon Sauce, Roast Turkey with Bread Sauce, Ox Tongue with Carrots.
The choice of sides included boiled rice, puree of turnips and boiled potatoes. Cold boiled ham was also on offer. Dessert followed and diners could select from Damson Tart, ‘Gelee Cunard’, Macaroon Toten, Saxon Pudding and ice cream. Cheese was then served and tea and coffee were available throughout and after the meal.
Here is a Lusitania menu that we sold in the past:
Menu from Ill-Fated R.M.S. Lusitania — Also With Three Lusitania Tickets
Menu from R.M.S. Lusitania, dated 9 October 1913, two years before German U-boats sank the British ship off the coast of Ireland. The sinking of the Cunard liner helped turn public opinion against Germany and influenced America’s entry into World War I. Menu for the second cabin meal measures 5″ x 7.75″ and is accompanied by a D Deck seating ticket and two deck chair tickets. Items are matted to an overall size of 9″ x 18.25″. Minor creasing and damp-staining to menu, else very good. Sold for $934.
