These 13 Rare Photos Show What Life Was Like Aboard the Titanic
No expense spared
Considering the Titanic cost $7.5 million to build way back in 1912 (that’s about $180 million today), a first-class ticket aboard the ship set passengers back a pretty penny (lots of them).
Money.com reports these tickets cost $2,560 at the time, the modern equivalent of which would exceed $61,000. What did these expensive cabins include? Two bedrooms, a sitting room, two wardrobe rooms, and a bathroom.
Ann Elizabeth Isham was a true hero for refusing to abandon her Great Dane when the ship went down.
That’s amazing. You’re not wrong, 1st class today on an ocean liner, will cost you 2 – 4000 dollars.
As a history teacher and always a Titanic fan, I have been intrigued with this ship and its tragic end. What a shame and what a self pompous desire to throw caution to the wind to attempt to break the Atlantic crossing record at the time.
I wouldn’t leave without my pet, either. Pets are members of the family. The poor dog would have been so frightened without his mistress. They should have let her hold him in one of the boats.
