Pictures of milton hershey titanic ticket

Milton and Catherine Hershey loved to travel. They enjoyed visiting historic sites, including castles, museums, and even the Great Pyramid of Giza as well as getaways to seaside resorts, mountains, and spas. The Hersheys favorite travel destination was Europe. The sunshine and warm sea breezes seemed to help Catherine feel better.

While in Europe they also visited the renowned thermal baths of Germany in an effort to alleviate some of the more distressing physical symptoms of her illness. For trips across the Atlantic, they relied on ocean liners.

Who got off the titanic before it sailed

In December , the Hersheys left for France to begin an extended tour of Europe, spending most of the winter of in Nice. At the time of their departure, Milton had planned a return home in April to attend to business—and to return home on the maiden voyage of RMS Titanic. That cancelled check is now housed in the Hershey Community Archives and a copy of it can be seen on exhibit in The Hershey Story.

Rather than sail home on Titanic, Milton Hershey was forced to change his plans at the last minute to attend to a business matter that required his attention in the town of Hershey. Ironically, on a subsequent voyage, it would be the Amerika that would notify Titanic of large icebergs in the North Atlantic on the morning of April 14; a warning ignored by the captain of Titanic.

I think most of us know the story of what happened to RMS Titanic.
