Olympic Class, Titanic Sass

Titanic sideblog. I post about the ship, its sisters, its passengers and crew, wreck expeditions, artifacts… and of course the film!

‘Unsinkable’ Molly Brown

Mrs Margaret Brown (Molly Brown) was a 1st class passenger on Titanic. She got her ‘unsinkable’ Title due to her surviving Titanic, evacuating all women and children she could see or hear and ordering lifeboat directors to go back and save those left behind in the water.

After Titanic's sinking Molly and other survivors returned to land via the Carpathia ship. She then began to organize a relief system for those traumatized and poverty-stricken survivors who became destituted.

She tirelessly established the Survivors Committee which gave her name the spotlight and fame she still has to this day.

Molly brown was a major womans rights activist and the first women to ever run for congress (1914)

"A World Without War" by Elang Erlangga: link

"Sometime in early 1915, the RMS Britannic, the newest of Britain’s majestic liners and the final ship in the White Star Line’s grand Olympic-class ships, passes the Statue of Liberty at the end of her maiden voyage. She is greeted by a retinue of tugs and, in the distance, the new HAPAG liner Bismarck, departing New York on the eastbound leg of her own maiden voyage.

Oh what might have been if only World War I had been averted! Instead, Britannic would serve as a hospital ship and be lost to a mine on this day in 1916, never to sail as a grand Atlantic lady. Bismarck, also incomplete at the start of the war, would lay incomplete until the war ended, but would never sail under the German flag. Instead, she would join White Star as restitution for the lost Britannic, having a successful career as the RMS Majestic."

The bedrooms of Titanic survivor Charlotte Cardeza, 1910s

[the-strawb-aboard]

She would have been used to living in luxury! Divorced from her husband, but still incredibly wealthy thanks to her father (denim manufacturer Thomas Drake, who left his fortune to his only daughter) Charlotte Cardeza occupied the starboard-side “millionaire suite” on B-Deck (B-51, B-53 and B-55) with her son, Thomas Drake Martinez Cardeza. Charlotte didn’t believe in traveling light - she brought her maid, Annie Moore Ward, Thomas’ manservant, Louis Gustave Joseph Lesueur, and an enormous amount of luggage! The Cardeza party brought a total of fourteen trunks, four suitcases, and three crates of baggage on board, and later filed the largest insurance claim of all the Titanic passengers (£36,000, or around $178,000, which I’m told amounts to a little under $6 million in today’s money… although she received considerably less for the loss of her belongings!).

Here’s what her suite looked like:

every titanic deleted scene ⟶ rose trapped 

She enters the room. Stands in the middle, staring at her reflection in the large vanity mirror. Just stands there, then– With a primal, anguished cry she claws at her throat, ripping off her pearl necklace, which explodes across the room. In a frenzy she tears at herself, her clothes, her hair… then attacks the room. She flings everything off the dresser and it flies clattering against the wall. She hurls a handmirror against the vanity, cracking it.

1923 Ziegfeld Girl Lucile Layton Zinman was interviewed by my Facebook friend Randy Bryan Bigham, author of "Lucile: Her Life by Design", and she told of encountering Lucile, Lady Duff Gordon at rehearsals for the Follies and noted how "everyone stood to attention" when she came backstage!

you forgot the best one

This now concludes the Titanic costume spam.

I'll probably post some more serious Titanic and White Star Line-related content in the near future, but this blog is dedicated to all things Titanic (including its various depictions on stage and screen), and today just felt like a day for organizing my favorite costumes from the film. They've been sitting in my drafts for ages and I'd like to admire them properly on my blog, or even occasionally refer back to them for art, cosplay or whatever creative purpose might spring to mind sometime in the future.

(One day I will finally have the Edwardian wardrobe of my dreams and maybe do some Rose DeWitt Bukater cosplay/historical recreation stuff. One of these days.)

Thank you for tolerating the outfit spam in the meantime!
