Part 2/7:
Born in 1878 in Birkenhead, just outside Liverpool, Charles Joughin served as the Titanic's head baker at the tender age of 33. With an essential role of ensuring fresh bread for passengers, Joughin worked tirelessly. His recollections from the night of April 14, 1912, remain somewhat murky, partially due to disinformation circulating over the years.
Contrary to many tales of whiskey consumption among Titanic survivors, Joughin himself described simply consuming “liquor.” There are intriguing yet conflicting family accounts regarding what he drank—some say schnapps, while others insist he abstained from alcohol altogether. Nevertheless, the cocktail crafted in his honor—derived from a 1910 recipe—harkens back to the type of drink he might likely have savored.
