An advertisement for the event reads: "The Queen of the Ocean is a totally immersive, poignant and unique experience, based on the final 24 hours of the RMS Titanic. Serving up a four course meal which is based on the final meal served on board on April 14, 1912, we take you on a journey through Ocean Class liners, a world of elegance and opulence, world class cuisine, and ultimately a tragic and heartfelt tribute to the 1,503 men, women and children that lost their lives."
There were significant Welsh links to the Titanic that day, with many on board being from Wales. Titanic Pages notes: "Aboard Titanic, amongst the passengers and crew, were a number people who were Welsh or lived in Wales, including Titanic’s Fifth Officer. All but two of the passengers aboard from Wales were traveling as third-class passengers, the other two travelled as second-class passengers. Amongst the Welshmen aboard was TItanic’s Fifth Officer, Harold Lowe. It is sad to note that the vast majority of the crew and all of the passengers connected to Wales were lost in the disaster on April 15, 1912."
