What did kids do on the Titanic?

Answer 1

It would have depended upon the wealth and class of the children's parents what toys they had.

The children of rich First Class passengers would have had expensive dolls made from china, dressed in ribbons and fine lace or cotton clothes. They would also have had sets of metal or wooden toy soldiers, toy cars and trains made of wood or metal, model yachts that really worked with properly-rigged sails, teddy bears and big cuddly dolls, and games such as quoits, hoops, Board Games like Snakes & Ladders (and other board games that were perculiar to the period, which we no longer have), and possibly pop-guns that fired corks or little pellets. Clockwork tinplate toys would also have been used- clockwork trains that maybe ran on their own tracks, acrobats that performed somersaults on bars, and so on. Also musical boxes.

Second Class children may have had some of the above, but not the more expensive varieties. Third Class children would have had few toys to play with at all- simple wooden dolls, maybe a board game or two, carved toy boats, and the cheaper, cruder varieties of tinplate toys that were poorly made and didn't last for very long.

When Dr. Robert Ballard first discovered the wreck site in May 1985, he and his team had the shock of their lives when the headlights of their submersible 'Alvin' suddenly illuminated the head of a china doll lying on the sea bed. It was ghostly white against the brown silt, the body and clothing long since having rotted away. It probably belonged to one of the first class girl passengers, who is not thought to have survived. Ballard and his team were reduced to tears at the site of it, and thenceforth left it well alone to lie in peace.

Answer 2

There was quite alot on board for children to do.

There was deck quoites, camel and donkey rides, they could play football on the deck, go swimming, they obviously went for lunch and dinner plus breakfast, and there was plenty to do in a 1st class stateroom.

For 3rd class passengers, there wasn't so much to do because they were not permitted on the boat deck, or in the swimming pool. However they were allowed to have donkey and camel rides, but they probably couldn't afford it:(

2nd class passengers had much more than 3rd class, but not as much as 1st. They were allowed on the decks if only they were granted by a 1st class passenger, which never really happened much:(

Hope this helped:)

Third class people had parties and dancing and drinking. First class passengers had a swimming pool, a Turkish bath, a gymnasium, a smoking room for men, a lounge, 4 different eating areas including a veranda cafe, a library, a squash court and a theatre.
