Further Information
Who isn't familiar with the tragic history of the Titanic? Even before the 1997 movie Titanic, which depicted the evening of April 15th, 1912 became a smash hit, people were fascinated with the history behind this great ship, also famous for being the largest ocean liner built at that time, and its passengers. Even the most trivial of information continues to be of interest to those who researched the famous event, right down to the brand of soap used by the First Class passengers onboard this luxurious ship that was believed to be unsinkable. Vinolia Soap is a luxurious reminder of days gone by. An expensive soap for its time, it was priced at around 35 cents a bar, which made it a little too expensive for most people, who would hesitate to spend even 10 cents for soap. This is more than likely the reason it was the choice for the First Class passengers. Many of these unlucky souls had the distinction of being some of the richest and most prominent people in the world. They were used to luxury, and the White Star Line, owner of the Titanic, wanted to make sure they had the very best soap.
