COMMODORE SIR
JAMES CHARLES
KBE CBE RD RNR (1865 — 1928)
With quite the reputation for
doing things on a grand scale,
Charles’ dinner parties aboard
Aquitania were well renowned
as opulently social affairs, often
centring around entire herds of
exotic feather-gilded fare.
Ever the showman, he bowed
out of service just as grandly
upon the completion of his 728th
transatlantic crossing—passing
away in his quarters on what was
to be the eve of his retirement.
‘OVER THE TOP’
(for two to share) — 22.00
This aromatic and
refreshing sharing cocktail
is extravagantly presented,
just the way Sir James
would come to expect.

COMMODORE SIR
ARTHUR ROSTRON
KBE CBE RD RNR (1869 — 1940)
Calmer than the oceans he
called home, Rostron is perhaps
the most celebrated of all Cunard
captains. His repose lead to the safe
rescue of all survivors of Titanic,
prudently redirecting heating
power to the engines and ensuring
Carpathia’s swift arrival.
His composure finally faltered
when he refused to travel to the
shipbreakers with his beloved
Mauretania, overcome with emotion
after ten years as her master.
‘PUNCH ROMAINE À LA CARPATHIA’ — 14.00
Believed to be the last
libation served aboard
Titanic, this reinvented
Punch Romaine maintains
the original’s intriguing
mid-point between
dessert and drink.

COMMODORE SIR
EDGAR BRITTEN
KB RD RNR (1874 — 1936)
From humble Bradford
beginnings and against the will
of his family, Britten escaped
to sea at just fifteen. Steadfastly
working his way up from the
bottom with nothing but his
own perseverance as his guide.
In the years to come that same
decisiveness would see him
appointed Commodore to the
newly created Cunard White Star
Line and first master to Queen
Mary, commanding both her
maiden voyage and the taking
of the celebrated Blue Riband.
‘YORKSHIRE
PACESETTER’ — 18.50
A fascinating blend of ‘Blue
Riband’ XO Cognac and
the flavours of Parkin—
a classic Yorkshire cake—
made in the style of an Old
Fashioned.

COMMODORE SIR
ROBERT IRVING
KB OBE RD RNR (1877 — 1954)
While other Commodores
tended to be of modest origin,
Robert Irving was certainly not.
Heralding from a wealthy and
well-connected Scottish Border
family, he was chieftain of his clan.
Irving’s service to the company
saw his command of both
Aquitania and Queen Mary—
once boldly docking the
81,235-ton Queen in New York
without the usual aid of 12
powerful tugs—before retiring
to his family seat in 1944.
‘CHIEFTAIN OF THE CLAN’ — 16.00
As a creature of habit and a
dedicated collector of briar
pipes, Irving would have
likely approved of this
re-imagining of his
mid-morning coffee.

COMMODORE SIR
JAMES BISSET
KB CBE RD RNR LLD (1883 — 1966)
Valuable cargo came to
be something of a defining
characteristic of Bisset’s
tenure with the company.
Throughout WWII he commanded
both Queen Mary and Queen
Elizabeth across the Atlantic, once
carrying a record 16,683 American
GIs and becoming a personal
friend to Churchill before, during
peacetime, safely delivering the
Magna Carta home to Lincoln
Cathedral by sleeping with it
safely stowed beneath his bed.
‘THE COMMODORE’S CURE’ — 25.00
Bisset’s legendary passenger
seasickness remedy— a glass
of chilled bubbly after 24 hours
of fasting —blends with his
close friendship of Churchill
to inspire this contemporary
Champagne cocktail.

COMMODORE SIR
CYRIL ILLINGWORTH
KB RD RNR (1883 — 1958)
A proud countryman, Illingworth was
once quoted as saying of the British:
“We have the great intangibles—
character, experience, patience,
determination. We are not called
Great Britain for nothing!”
A man of great endurance as well
as fine words, aboard Ascania he
once stood on the bridge for 75
hours without sleep during an
exceptionally violent storm.
His tenacity was well rewarded,
rising to eventually become
captain of Queen Mary in 1942.
‘LAND OF HOP & GLORY’ — 14.00
Inspired by Illingworth’s
love of all things traditionally
British, this malty concoction
is the quintessential rural
pub experience enshrined
in cocktail form.

COMMODORE SIR
IVAN THOMPSON
KB (1894 — 1970)
Raised in the constant presence
of Liverpool’s industrious shipyards,
it is perhaps no surprise that
Thompson grew into a seafaring
life in steam—nor that he became
a near fanatical Liverpool Football
Club supporter.
Assuming command of Queen
Elizabeth in 1951 and Queen Mary
a year later, he remained insistent
that the latest football scores be
telegraphed and delivered to him
on the bridge every Sunday.
‘ALL CONSUMING
PASSION’ — 14.00
Blending Liverpool Gin
and the colours of his
cherished club, this vibrant
cocktail distils the very
essence of that which
Thompson held most dear.
