Dear Sir/Madam,
I am so sorry to bother you so soon, but I am afraid I must protest! After the
Titanic plummeted I started to get extremely overwhelmed…
During the days inauguration April 12th I boarded the famous ship: Titanic, only to
find my journey ended on the ‘night of terror’: April 14th!
From that entire disturbance I must earn something!
Since my dog and husband died (on your vessel) I wish to receive money for their
funeral, as well as a recompense for my ticket!
Other members of the first class passengers got their money back, why shouldn’t I
If you did pay me back a refund I will stop bothering you and you would be my
hero!
Not only did you take life away from my most prized people/animal, you ruined
all of my bespoke belongings (of the highest quality and extremely expensive!)…
All I ask for is my money back, for my: dog and husband’s funeral, a refund for
my ticket and of Course my prized possessions of clothes and jewellery! If you do
not however, I will speak to a solicitor!
Kind Regards
Margret Astor

my daughter lost my wife on.
For one you have scared my daughter, because she had
to watch her mum go down with the Titanic, do you know
how I feel about that because my wife is at the bottom of
the Atlantic Ocean. I hope you feel bad about that…
So not only am I upset so is my daughter (who is in
hospital) she can’t look at any pictures of her mother
because she burst out crying.
So I firstly wont my money back and for you to pay my
little girls hospital bill (since you broken her arm) on that

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about my experience on the
Titanic during its sinking on the 15th April 1912.
I am outraged that your crew didn’t let my personal
maid on my life-boat.
5. I have lost all my clothes and my jewellery.
If you do not repay me for my precious jewels I might
sue you, and it will be in the hands of the government.
In addition I had a 15 minute wait to get onto a life-boat
and my husband was lost in our cabin. I expect to
get a full refund on all of my tickets (£7899.99.)You
promised us an unsinkable ship, and what do we get? A
night to remember (a sunken ship.)
I am very disappointed in your company and I would like
to see improvements, I hope a plethora of people will
expect the same.
Yours Sincerely

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to complain about the R.M.S. Titanic’s Maiden
Voyage. My main complaint is about the sinking.
I paid hundreds of dollars for a pleasant and ecstatic
journey back to New York. I took two industrious maids
with me and one youthful strong nanny. I regretfully say
that one of my outstanding maids froze to death on the
Titanic. This not what a first class passenger should expect.
Most of my belongings; diamonds, jewellery, paintings and
clothes went down with ship. So much for the vessel being
unsinkable!
I am devastated and infuriated about my time on the liner
(who wouldn’t be?) Do you know how far away Paris is from
America? How am I supposed to get those glossy silky-smooth
dresses back now?
I would like a refund (plus a couple of hundred dollars for
my dresses) and a new maid who is of the highest quality.
If I don’t receive these things I will be forced to involve a
solicitor. (Like I bet you have already been told)!
Yours Faithfully,
Mrs Margret Astor,(a first class passenger)

Dear Sir,
I am writing to complain about the appalling sinking of the immeasurable Titanic. Now I have lost
a vast amount of money and family.
On our arrival we were greeted by an enormous amount of chaos and queues. In that case, I had to
wait around for 30 minutes until I finally got on the grand vessel..
My experience has gone down hill, extremely fast. My best collections of my beautiful gowns are
now rewind! (Because of that disaster from the Titanic). Thanks to that I’m expecting a full
refund and extra money to replace my precious gowns.
If you do not plead to do so I will have to take this matter to court.
Was your ship really unsinkable?

Dear Sir
I am writing to complain about the sinking of the
voluminous Titanic. I have lost my son because of you! You
said the ship was “unsinkable” I am scarred for life now.
I have lost my grandma’s ring (who died 12 years ago) and
now we have nothing to remember her by, even her
pictures are floating around in the middle of the Atlantic
Ocean. The experience of it left me devastated.
Our experience went from bad from horrendously bad.
When we were directed to the lifeboats, everybody had a
sniggering look at me. When we were in the ocean people
were trying to tip us over for their own survival.
(Mostly third class passengers)
Is this the luxury you expect from the great Titanic? It
turned to a survival game for the people without a lifeboat.
After our dreadful experience I am asking for my money
back, but you can’t bring back my son though can you? If
you don’t I will be contacting my solicitor. I want to buy a
replica ring like my grandma’s with the money you’re going
to give me.
Yours sincerely,
Margaret Astor

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to you to complain about the disheartening Titanic palanquin, full
of consternation and degradation. You’ve destroyed my clothes and luggage,
this was so post to be a nice trip worth a lot of money, but it turns into a night
to remember.
The issue is that I have no money left, no clothes to ware, it’s like being
robbed! Would you be a tiny bit generous and give me all of my money back,
also for the clothes, £2500 (now you know how much I had)!
I was hoping for a nice a calm trip of alleviation but you couldn’t even do that!
If you don’t give me a refund, I will try shutting you down!
Is it really hard to have a nice 5 star holiday?
I would be very obliged if you give me the discomposure I need, and a little bit
more money for a house. Please don’t leave this letter on the table, please be
philanthropic, my family in Russia are tormented (sick)! This is my last piece
of paper, thank you!
Also, my wife; Susan Krekorian she was also killed in the disaster and you’ve
indisputably ruined my life!

Dear Sir,
I am writing to complain about the Titanic sinking. I have lost all of my jewels and clothes.
You promised it was unsinkable, I have lost my husband and my beautiful dresses.
I lost all of my family: my children, my husband and my mother they all froze to death. So
I will expect money to organise a funeral. I would also like to point out that I lost my
wedding ring.
I would like to suggest that you will buy me brand new jewels and top quality clothes
from England. I want this by 30th April 1912 and they better not have stains on them.
I expected that she was upper class, but she wasn’t (the Titanic.)

Dear Sir, 1912
I am writing to complain about the tragedy of the “unsinkable ship”;
the Titanic, I was left traumatized and scared for life.
I was the last person to leave the boiler room, and honestly we did
everything to save her. I made sure the children and women were
off before me, and I was last to leave the vessel.
My dreadful experience went from horrific to traumatic as I was
obliged to be put on a lifeboat and watch the suffering and death as
the Titanic went down.
Obviously I’m grateful for being put on a lifeboat, but I have no
luggage, no food, nowhere to stay and no job.
It would be most appreciated to have my luggage and
accommodation all FULLY compensated. Am I asking for too much?
Yours Gratefully,

Dear Sir/ Madam,
I am writing to complain about the tragic, anguished loss of the disastrous, heart-wrenching Titanic. I
despise the fact that I have lost yet another well-paying job, (not for my fault, again,) and I didn’t get a
single flipping penny for it! You will never guess what I have to survive on a desperately destitute day: A
single slice of burnt toast, gooey out-of-date jam, begrimed water and ½ a bowl of peanuts with no salt
on, (and that’s just because they’re free!!!)
13. On my abhorrent arrival, there was nowhere to turn; I was so discombobulated, so I was forced to beg. I
managed to rent a diabolical flat that had a putrid smell of rotten eggs and a sinister pong that I can’t put
my finger on; also, the floor is diseased with loathsome, ghastly toadstools. That’s the best someone like
me can do!!
Solicitors will be involved if you don’t: double my hard working pay plus the money I lost ($583.78,) and
find me a new decent job, (except for working on a ship.) If only you had been there, then you would have
been scared for your luxurious life as well.
You don’t usually get that monstrous disaster from a 10 star majestic vessel, do you?! I am outraged!
I am looking forward to getting my reasonable wishes,
Yours truly,
MR. F W Barret (your ex-employee)

Dear Sir,
I am writing to complain about my appalling journey to New York City, on
your vessel.
Fortunately, I survived the mishap, but the plethora of other people that
didn’t is most horrific. Also I am still mourning for the loss of my luggage;
and my husband.
My experience, after the collision, was damaging, and now I will be
scarred for life. I am still in anguish a month later.
All my valuable belongings were from the finest tailors, mainly Saville
Rowe in London, which I would assume; you at least give me $100,000 to
try and re-establish most things.
14. The so called ‘unsinkable’ Titanic is now lying at the bottom of the
Atlantic Ocean (with my beloved husband).
In return I would expect, not only the $100,000, which I will accept in a
cheque, but also my ticket money. If I do not receive the money I am
willing to sue your company, which I don’t think you would like, would
you?

Dear Sir,
I’m complaining about the Titanic plummeting to the bottom of the
ocean with my luggage on it. It was appalling. I paid £870 for a
five star ride to New York but instead I paid for nearly my death.
The ship was sinking, we were mortified. Five star? More like one
star, I demand everything that was in my suitcase back
and my money back also I want more money for the
stress that I’m in.
15. The captain; J.Smith wasn’t that helpful when it was sinking, I said
to him “what should I do?”
He didn’t say anything he just strolled away.
If that’s what a five star vessel is like I’m never ever going on one
ever again.
It’s the antithesis of fortuitousness to go on that dreadful boat.
Yours sincerely,

16. Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about the loss of my wife’s life, and my overall
awful experience on the R.M.S Titanic, (Which is supposed to be
“unsinkable”).
The ship jolted as it hit the iceberg and made for a horrible aftermath, (that I
had to watch) the screaming, the dieing. But my wife, Victoria, died in agony
that unfortunate night. Her death is your fault; fortunately I have a new
occupation, which should hopefully make up for the waste of my money (£
40.00).
If you could do me the grisly honour of collecting my wife’s frozen corpse
from the floor of the Atlantic I would be more than pleased. But if you
refuse I will throw my self off of my hotel balcony. Please don’t make me.
Yours sincerely,
Mr. Neshan Krokorian.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about the astonishing standard of health, safety and service.
I booked a ticket for the journey dated 5th December 1912.
On my and the crew’s arrival there was nobody to greet us, and I thought that was a
little bit rude. Furthermore the ship sank, now I am very grateful for the B& B, but
next time don’t get people’s hopes up that it isn’t unsinkable.
In addition my experience of being on a sinking ship is horrendous. I would be very
grateful if you could offer me a new job, and even a bigger wage, is this the standard
working class people should expect .How would you respond if you lost your jacket
and your new shiny case.
If I see or hear about a tragic moment again I will get on the angry side, because the
people who came on the Titanic are most probably together at the bottom of the
Atlantic Ocean.
As having the experience on a sinking ship, and nearly wasting my life. I shall be
getting on the phone, if I don’t get a letter back.

18. Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about losing all of my possessions on
board the RMS Titanic. I find it appallingly disgraceful that this
ship has sunk (and people thought it was unsinkable!) because I
brought all of my belongings with me, and they are now lost at the
bottom of the ocean.
Firstly, I was unimpressed on how I was treated while boarding
the Titanic. This is because I was not shown to my room, but was
directed. And not very well either, because I soon got lost. And
when I did find the room, I was not pleased with the layout. But
back to the sinking! Secondly I lost some very valuables’ that have
been in my family for centuries. Lastly, your staff told my wife to
not get into my lifeboat because it was full. And as a result, she
went down with the ship.
What I would like you to do is give me a refund. I am partly sad
about the Titanic sinking, but mostly about losing my belongings
and my wife!
If you don’t at least give me a refund, I will be seeking legal advice
about you. And this may just go to court!
Just think that you created one of the grandest ships in history, do
you really think that it would be grand behaviour if you did not
help me?

Dear Sir,
I’m writing to complain about my loss of money, family, dog and butler.
My husband, Edward froze in the Atlantic Ocean; do you understand
how much pain I’m in? Even my little corgi Rose drowned; she’s at the
bottom of the sea. I’m not terribly impressed with your customer
service.
So much for the ship being ‘unsinkable’, my life was at risk- I could have
died on that terrible day. I’m trying to say that I’m in great pain, now
I’ll never be the same after that long night. How can I live when you
monsters murdered my husband, what is the point of life because of
you?
Look at yourselves aren’t you proud of what you’ve done, my husband,
head of a bank (the bank where your money is stored) dead. Think
about how much ‘more’ money you could lose.
Now I’m asking you to refund every penny that was on your ship, plus
extra for a new dog and a funeral for Edward and Rose. If you don’t
then I will sue your company for killing my husband and dog.
Thank you for reading this letter, I hope you take this into your deepest
thoughts, and your most needed thing to do.

Dear White Star Lines,
I am complaining about my treasures that were lost when the Titanic
went down.
My jewellery, my husband and my waiter were lost in the sea, when
your ‘unsinkable’ ship went down last week.
I am very upset about losing my treasures. I really want my money
back and my jewellery back with additional jewels quick!! (which is
£1,000,000.)
While I was on the Titanic hardly anybody greeted me or opened my
door, except for my waiter Jenny (who died.)
You can never re-place my husband, but I would like you to pay for
his funeral money which is probably going to be £15000.
Is this the standard which I deserve from a ‘5’ star ship?
I have a plethora of complains but these are the main ones.
I’m looking forward to seeing your letter back!!

Dear Mr Ismay,
I am solemnly complaining about the frantic night I had aboard the Titanic- your ‘Ship’ scared me for
life, during my stay on the Titanic, during the week commencing 10th April 1912, which I booked.
During this matter all my finery was lost, I am now in an appalling state: No clothes (except the ones that
I wore when she sank) Money, got none. Not to mention my sister has a baby, he has a critical cold- if he
were to die I would have to go into legal advice/a doctor to see what caused this matter- perhaps because
of cold?
Devastated, am I at this, of course! As this really isn’t your bog-standard ship, the money I spent to have
a glorious time, nearly paid for my death!
Is this really what the ‘Unsinkable’ Titanic gives us? Should I just accept? That relatives were lost, you
can never bring them back! To soothe the pain I would like my jewels to be returned, will that be do-able?
I am feeling emotionally abused, about people that died; and I will question your authority on this, was
there enough life-boat?
Last year I had bespoke designer pieces prepared from every continent, can you comprehend how much
that costs? If so you’ll have the sense to realize that a refund is not enough, especially as I have lost
something irreplaceable…
As recompense, I shall have all my jewellery added up exactly to expense-fortunately I had ‘some’
money in my clutch-bag, but the rest I expect in a re-fund. As I said my nephew’s ill, my finery lost- I’m
insulted. You thought your ship was ‘unsinkable’; it sank!

Dear Sir/Madame ,
24. I am writing to you to complain about the Titanic sinking because, I
lost all of my belongings and had to start from scratch, (this was
annoying.)
People said that the vessel is ‘unsinkable ’, and when we were told
that the ship was sinking, our room was almost full of water! When I
asked the captain a question he just turned around and walked
away, which was disrespectful.
I expected that all of the crew would apologize - the captain as
well!!!
After that dreadful loss I demand to get all of my equipment back,
eg; expensive clothes and shoes etc. Or you could just give me
1,000,000 pounds instead because; I had a lot of properties in there
that reminded me of my family who are dead. Plus all of my
EXSPENSIVE clothes from the finest boutique shops from Paris
and Berlin!!!

Dear Sir,
I am writing to complain about the loss of my luggage on the Titanic.
(It was the Unsinkable Titanic.)
I can’t believe such a beautiful ship, like the Titanic, killed so many
people. It was an atrocious experience; I have spent a plethora of time
purchasing myself with clothes, which has misused my money.
I also lost my husband in the appalling incident; he can never be
replaced, (but you can replace my clothes and jewellery.)
Most of my clothes were bespoke for me! I had five dresses made from
the finest designers in Paris. All I ask is the money to go back to Paris,
and reclaim my belongings.
Do you really think people will go on one of your vessels again?
I want money for my husband’s funeral, and the right kind of clothing
for my class. If not I’m sure I could keep my eyes open for a solicitor.

Dear White Star Line,
I am writing to complain about the unspeakable ‘Titanic’
disaster. I was a worker on the vessel and only just
survived.
As a result of what happened, I think that I should get
compensated. It has scared me for life, and I almost died! I
bring home all the money for my family; so who will pay for
them now I’ve lost my job.
It’s only fair that I get some money and transport back to
Liverpool. Not only did I almost die and lost wonderful
friends, I was supposed to go home to my family on the
‘Titanic’.
How must my family feel, having their son injured and
almost killed? If nothing happens I will be speaking to my
legal representative (not a cheerful man!).
That is all I have to say about this and I hope to hear from
you soon.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about the appalling service of the R.M.S.Titanic. You
said that she was unsinkable, you lied.
The food was not to my standards and I got lost on the way to my room.
My experience went from bad to worse, I wasn’t in the first lifeboat, I lost my
husband and my boy because one of your officers shot him to keep them calm. Did
they look calm to you? When I finally got in a lifeboat I had a horrible sight of
the Titanic going down, I could hear the shrieks of pain and death .I am scarred for
life.
Is this the kind of service I should expect for a 1st class passenger?
I expect NOT . This is the kind of service I expect for a working class. So why
should I get it from you?
I would be ever so grateful if you could get me all the top-prised jewellery, dresses
and food, if you don’t I will report you and leave it to the government. It’s your
dissection, send me the things I want or tell it to the government.

suggest you think again, because you don’t want another ‘unsinkable ship’
sat at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, do you?
Referring to this tragic incident that happened, if you could do me this one

my lives worth of fortune was lost and I had to make
What state do you want to put 1st Class passengers in?
Whilst on the “best ship in the world” I had to wait a
whole 55 minutes to be put onto a lifeboat!
You should be ashamed, making a woman like me wait.
I could go on but it’s too agonizing to put pen to paper
about; when I got to New York I had to acquire $500
worth of garments that I lost.
I would like you to compensate the loss of my money
($1565 because of my husband and my belongings and
diamond jewellery set.)

Dear Sir/Madam
I’m writing angrily today to complain about the Titanic’s first voyage, and as everyone
in the world knows it sunk! I’m Miss Margaret Astor, It has scared me for life, I will
never go on a ship again- ‘Unsinkable’ really?
I lost my dog who was new and I wanted him to go on the titanic for pleasure and
comfort but not for fear and death. I also lost all of my helpful butcher and servants,
who were really nice and if you had met them you would regret the ship sinking. There’s
not only that, I also lost my only picture of my mother who died of cancer 3 years ago,
dreadfully I lost all my amazing, comfy clothes and hats, so now I’m left with just one
pair of each.
Frantically I would like you to buy me 100 more hats (not caps), 20 more dresses, a
dog (chiwawa), 11 helpful butchers and servants and get my picture from the sea of my
dead mother if possible. I know you wouldn’t like it so why make other people go
through it?
I thought I would get to New York safely; not in a life boat!
If you don’t give me what j want I will call the best council in New York City and they
will get the cops into it! I want it all.
Yours faithfully,
Miss Margaret Astor
P.S- Make it as soon as soon as possible!

Dear Sir or Madame
I am writing to complain about the horrible experience of the Titanic, when all my jewels and
valuables went down with it!
I bet you knew it was going to sink, and now we have hardly any clothes to wear, and I and my
daughter have lost all of our valuables, which were so important to us, like our dresses! Also,
when we were waiting to board the ship it took 15-30 minutes to get on probably because you were
all messing about with the dirty third class.
Also that was mine and my daughter’s first time going on a ship because we’re so scared
discouraged that it might sink and now we’re definitely discouraged! Not forgetting one of my
daughters I lost because of another ship like yours! You said it was unsinkable when it
(SANK) well think again because it sank didn’t it! That was turning into mine and my
daughter’s best holiday but now it’s a nightmare stuck in my head!
So I want you to give my money back, more sumptuous clothes including a new free house and
it’s got to be big, with furniture in! Also I’m sure other people will think the same.
Yours faithfully
Margaret. Astor P. S if you don’t get these I’ll call a Loyer!
