Prestige Yacht Charters Commemorates Sinking of Titanic
NEW YORK, April 9, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Prestige Yacht Charters, a premier
luxury-yacht charter company serving theNew York metro area, today announced
it has commemorated the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic on April 15,
1912 by creating a special resource page on its website including an exact
replica of the first-class menu for the passengers' last meal.
The resource page is available at
http://prestigeyachtcharters.com/titanic.asp until May 15 and includes links
to related sites such as a 35-page exhibit of original news articles and
artifacts by Encyclopedia Britannica; the Titanic Historical Society; the
largest museum on the Titanic inthe United States; and a description of the
discovery of the Titanic at the bottom of the Atlantic by Robert Ballard in
1986. Less serious references are available for the Titanic movie, a Titanic
game and a 30-second cartoon about the event.
David Hackert, President of Prestige Yacht Charters, said, "The sinking of
the Titanic represents an occasion of tragic lore in the boating industry and
a milestone in our national history. In honor of those who have passed away,
we have created a resource page with one of the most varied listings of
Titanic materials I've ever seen."
The first-class menu recovered from the Titanic, and replicated on the
Prestige website, includes a ten-course feast with gourmet selections such as
poached salmon with mousseline sauce, and peaches in chartreuse jelly. In
future years, Prestige hopes to reproduce the feast aboard itsLexington
yacht, built in the steamer style of the era. Participants will receive a
stylized menu as a souvenir and be regaled by music from the era and wait
staff dressed in corresponding fashion styles. The commemorations will
culminate on the 100th anniversary of the tragedy in 2012.
Prestige offers the "private yacht" experience in all seasons with gourmet
cuisine complemented by music, dancing or a casino. It provides panoramic
views of New York Harbor, Long Island Sound and the Hudson River to create an
unforgettable occasion for hundreds of groups every year. Prestige also offers
deluxe packages for corporate meetings including A/V facilities for business
presentations aboard its ships.
