A very smooth #Birkenhead to #Belfast ferry crossing overnight. But I won't be buying #Hygge lounge again £46 for 2 seats in an overlight room with 2 of the loudest snorers I've ever heard. Not much sleep was had #Stenna.Everything else about your service was excellent.

Did you know that the "women and children first" idea is not #maritime #law but #Victorian etiquette?

The first recorded case of this code of conduct comes from 1840 when a #fire broke out on a postal freighter in the #US.

The sinking of the HMS #Birkenhead (1852) cemented the idea.

When the #Titanic sank, this caused a #dilemma for officers: is it women & children FIRST or ONLY?

Some lifeboats were lowered with empty seats - only 20% of the men survived.
