Drakes Landing in Beaver Township set out on a voyage to bring history to their dinner tables.
"We were all kind of interested in the idea of it and of course we all wanted to dress up, so it went on from there," said Jessie Bolen, who is a sophomore at South Range High School
The restaurant offered the same meals as served on the ships last night, but they took it one step further. Owners enlisted the help of South Range High school sophomores to entertain. The event turned into a history project for the students.
"We had to pick characters. Like my character is Margaret Brown, the "Unsinkable Molly Brown." And we had to go and research actual people who were on the Titanic," Bolen said.
They also wrote papers, put together costumes and prepared skits. The students were to be sources of information and entertainment for the dinner..
First class passengers may have listened to same type of music that the students performed while enjoying oysters, rack of lamb, and fillet mignon, to name a few.
Restaurant owners say they hope to do this again next year, and students say, for a history project, this was pretty fun.
"This is the most definitely on of the most funnest things I've done, especially for History class. I mean, just finding the outfit, doing the research, and then being able to come out here and put all that together in a fun way. This is my favorite by far," Bolen said.
So, if First Class was eating fillet mignon and roast duck, what was Second Class eating? Among the options were roast turkey, baked cod, potatoes, and a soup and vegetable.
Drakes Landing owners say they hope to put on the show again next year.
