[QUOTE="Martin Williams, post: 260514, member: 141861"] Thank you. Was there any first-class passenger Edith Russell DIDN'T chat to at some stage during the voyage? She really seems to have got around! On another thread, Bob has contributed the fascinating information that Mexican Manuel Uruchurtu shared the same train compartment as Mrs Lindstroem on the journey to Cherbourg. Although not directly relating to Sigrid Lindstroem, I've been doing a little bit of background reading to help set her class and country in a historical context. Interestingly, Queen Alexandra travelled to Scandinavia in the spring of 1908, visiting relatives in Norway, Sweden and her native Denmark. On 26th April, the royal party arrived in Stockholm, where Alexandra was greeted by Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf and his English wife, Crown Princess Margaret. The visitors were dazzled by the opulence and splendour of the royal palace, which was beautifully furnished with fine furniture and Sevres porcelain from the collection of Napoleon's controversial Marshal Bernadotte. Evidently, the court in Stockholm in no way lagged behind those in London, Berlin, Vienna or St. Petersburg! During their short stay, the British visitors were entertained at a gala performance of a German opera and at a state banquet, where they dined off consomme printaniere, rissoles de homard a la Italienne, filet of beef, pate de foie gras, sorbet and bombe a la Napolitaine.
