The White Start Line that built the Titanic advertised the ship as the most luxurious ever to set sail. Wealthy passengers paid up to £870 for the privilege of occupying the Titanic’s most expensive and spacious first-class cabins. Chefs in Australia and around the globe occasionally recreate Titanic meals for curious clients. Hundreds of poor immigrant passengers, represented by Jack (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) in Cameron’s movie, were also aboard the Titanic. If their ilk were the only people on board the Titanic, the ship would arguably have faded quickly from memory.
