TitanicWhat was so special about

life on board the Titanic and

was it the same for everyone?

This is an advertisement for the maiden voyage of The Titanic.

Why do you think the Titanic might be thought of as so special at the time?

Why do you think so many people wanted to travel on her?

What clues can you see on the poster to help you?

On The Titanic there were three different categories of passengers, each having access to different facilities.

First Class- these were the richest passengers

I joined the Titanic at Cherbourg in

France. I’m going home to America after

travelling all over Europe. I visited Italy,

then Monte Carlo and Paris, where I

went up the Eiffel Tower. I have a suite on

board which is very luxurious with a

private promenade. I eat in the best restaurants.

I’m sailing from Ireland to America.

There’s no work in Ireland so I sold

everything to buy a ticket to America

to find a job there. I don’t mind the

fact that I have to share a cabin with 3

other people. It is clean and

comfortable. There’s not much to do

on board but there are lots of people

to get to know and we enjoy skipping

ropes.
