The First Class Passenger

The most expensive ticket, the first class ticket, was well over $100,000 in today's money. First class passengers include one of the highest paid movie stars of the time and a confidant of President Taft. The food was superb: Caviar, lobster, quail from Egypt,. Plover's eggs and hot house grapes and fresh peaches. And all these wealthy passengers are dressed to the nines.
