Lost Legends: Coeur dAlenes Burning Steamboats Alex the Historian 2024-02-26 | Between the 1920s and 1930s, many of the steamboats of Lake Coeur d'Alene, Idaho were burned. To understand why anyone would burn these steamboats, we have to go back to the beginning... #steamboat #history #oceanliner I would like to thank @ExpeditionSteve for filming Lake Coeur d'Alene for my video. Thanks Steve! He also recently filmed a bike ride around and over the lake: youtube.com/watch?v=Bn0f3kCPPT0 SOURCES/RESEARCH: steamboats.com/museum/idaho.html http://www.harrisonidaho.org/steamboats.html cdapress.com/news/2022/feb/25/moving-history-forward-steamboat-idaho en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steamboats_on_Lake_Coeur_d%27Alene MUSIC: "Legacy" by @ScottBuckley youtube.com/watch?v=rghAuURaFCk "Sanctuary" by @Scott Buckleyyoutube.com/watch?v=OgeKXriwMnA --------------------------------- I plan to sail to the UK to film historic places for this channel, click the link to learn more!

LIVE: Afternoon Tea With Alex | 02/24/2024 Alex the Historian 2024-02-25 | Let's chat about ocean liners, trains, and other historic travel as we enjoy a virtual afternoon Tea service, Cunard style! @AlexTheRailroader @autisticreaction If you wish to donate to, or learn about my UK trip, just visit this link!GoFundMe: gofund.me/0598f205The music in this video is a combination of music available on the @henryhallfan channel.CUCUMBER SANDWICHES: A basic recipe for the cucumber sandwiches sometimes featured on my live stream is: Slice planks out of half a cucumber, there should be at least 5 planks. Chop up fresh dill, dried dill doesn't taste good in this sandwich. Place chopped dill in a small mixing bowl, add 2 Tbsps of cream cheese, 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise, a pinch of salt, and 1/8th teaspoon of granulated garlic or garlic powder. Mix the spread until all ingredients are combined. Apply the spread to soft sandwich bread of your choice, then lay the cucumber planks down on one of the slices of bread, making sure to overlap the cucumber. Place the other bread slice on top, wrap in plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 2 hours. 15 minutes prior to serving, remove the sandwich, cut off the crusts, cut the sandwich into thirds (finger sandwiches), and arrange it on a plate. Serve and enjoy with tea!ABOUT MY TEA SET: The entire set of china I use every live stream, aside from the silverware and tea infusers -are vintage items that were actually used aboard old Cunard ships. Most of my collection is from the RMS Queen Mary (1934) and RMS Queen Elizabeth (1938). But it's possible some other items may be from other Cunard ships of the mid-century such as RMS Mauretania (1938), RMS Sylvania (1957), and RMS Caronia (1947). The oldest piece of the collection dates back to 1952, and the newest piece is from 1967...however, the entire set is all the same Art Deco design introduced aboard the RMS Queen Mary in 1936 when it had its maiden voyage. The only thing that has changed between the pieces from the 30's and the 60's was the color changeover from ivory white, to eggshell white. HOW TO CARE FOR VINTAGE CHINA: always hand-wash in warm water with dish soap using the soft part of the sponge, never scrub with any abrasive, no matter how soft the abrasive is. Store china in a protected place away from direct sunlight, and away from spaces where they can be damaged. Always pre-warm china incrementally before adding boiling water or the thermal shock WILL crack them! Helpful tip: if your china was made before the year 1975, it may have been made with lead, using china only on occasion, poses minimal risk of lead poisoning. But NEVER drink from cracked china that was produced before 1975 because the health risk increases.PREWARM STEP 1: Run the hot liquid vessels under the hottest tap water you have and fill the teapot, teacup, and other hot liquid vessels with hot tap water until your boiling water is ready. PREWARM STEP 2: When your boiling water is ready, pour out ONLY HALF of the hot tap water from the vessels, then top the rest off with the boiling water. Allow the china to sit for a minute to equalize in heat (the china may be too hot to touch at this point).STEP 3, THE TEA: Pour out all the pre-warming water from the teapot and fill it with boiling water and place your tea in for the designated amount of time. You may want to allow the boiling water to cool down to a particular temperature for certain teas. The teacup must keep its pre-warming water until the tea is finished brewing, then you can dump out the water, and pour in the tea!

LIVE: Model Trains Hangout - On30 Scale (FEB 17, 2024) Alex the Historian 2024-02-18 | This is my On30 scale layout called Tumblerock Canyon Railroad. It is O scale, running on HO scale tracks to simulate a 30-inch gauge between the rails. As such all the buildings and scenery will be in O scale and all the trains are narrow-gauge equipment. This layout will be an ode to the Oregon Country of the 1890s where logging, farming, and mining were king. The layout will be covered in forested hills and mountains, and the small town will be merely a whistle-stop for the local industries as passengers and cargo are transported to Portland to go further distances.You can learn more and get updates all about this layout from now on at @AlexTheRailroader ---------------------------------My email: alexthehistorian55@gmail.comMy new WEBSITE, "rmsQMwiki":rmsqmwiki.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_PageTo buy me a cup of coffee or support my channel, you can give a "Super Thanks" in the live chat or comments section.

How Ocean Liners Could Return Alex the Historian 2024-01-12 | There's always a question if Cunard will build another ocean liner to succeed Queen Mary 2.

LIVE: Afternoon Tea With Alex | 11/13/23 Alex the Historian 2023-11-14 | Let's chat about ocean liners, trains, and other historic travel as we enjoy a virtual afternoon Tea service, Cunard style! @AlexTheRailroader My father's YouTube channel:youtube.com/@DishingWithJoeIf you wish to donate to, or learn about my UK trip, just visit these links!Video: youtube.com/watch?v=lcx4BfriWhQGoFundMe: gofund.me/0598f205The music in this video is a combination of music available on the @henryhallfan channel.CUCUMBER SANDWICHES: A basic recipe for the cucumber sandwiches sometimes featured on my live stream is: Slice planks out of half a cucumber, there should be at least 5 planks. Chop up fresh dill, dried dill doesn't taste good in this sandwich. Place chopped dill in a small mixing bowl, add 2 Tbsps of cream cheese, 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise, a pinch of salt, and 1/8th teaspoon of granulated garlic or garlic powder. Mix the spread until all ingredients are combined. Apply the spread to soft sandwich bread of your choice, then lay the cucumber planks down on one of the slices of bread, making sure to overlap the cucumber. Place the other bread slice on top, wrap in plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 2 hours. 15 minutes prior to serving, remove the sandwich, cut off the crusts, cut the sandwich into thirds (finger sandwiches), and arrange it on a plate. Serve and enjoy with tea!ABOUT MY TEA SET: The entire set of china I use every live stream, aside from the silverware and tea infusers -are vintage items that were actually used aboard old Cunard ships. Most of my collection is from the RMS Queen Mary (1934) and RMS Queen Elizabeth (1938). But it's possible some other items may be from other Cunard ships of the mid-century such as RMS Mauretania (1938), RMS Sylvania (1957), and RMS Caronia (1947). The oldest piece of the collection dates back to 1952, and the newest piece is from 1967...however the entire set is all the same Art Deco design introduced aboard the RMS Queen Mary in 1936 when it had its maiden voyage. The only thing that has changed between the pieces from the 30's and the 60's was the color changeover from ivory white, to eggshell white. HOW TO CARE FOR VINTAGE CHINA: always hand-wash in warm water with dish soap using the soft part of the sponge, never scrub with any abrasive, no matter how soft the abrasive is. Store china in a protected place away from direct sunlight, and away from spaces where they can be damaged. Always pre-warm china incrementally before adding boiling water or the thermal shock WILL crack them! Helpful tip: if your china was made before the year 1975, it may have been made with lead, using china only on occasion, poses minimal risk of lead poisoning. But NEVER drink from cracked china that was produced before 1975 because the health risk increases.PREWARM STEP 1: Run the hot liquid vessels under the hottest tap water you have and fill the teapot, teacup, and other hot liquid vessels with hot tap water until your boiling water is ready. PREWARM STEP 2: When your boiling water is ready, pour out ONLY HALF of the hot tap water from the vessels, then top the rest off with the boiling water. Allow the china to sit for a minute to equalize in heat (the china may be too hot to touch at this point).STEP 3, THE TEA: Pour out all the pre-warming water from the teapot and fill it with boiling water and place your tea in for the designated amount of time. You may want to allow the boiling water to cool down to a particular temperature for certain teas. The teacup must keep its pre-warming water until the tea is finished brewing, then you can dump out the water, and pour in the tea!

LIVE: Disneyland Railroad Simulator Alex the Historian 2023-11-04 | This Disneyland Railroad Simulator is the REAL DEAL. It is as ACCURATE as you can get to running a live steam locomotive, in terms of gaming. It was created by Preston N. and it's sole purpose was authentic running of Disneyland's original two steam engines, C.K. Holliday and E.P. Ripley in 1955/57. #disneyland #disneylandrailroad #trains Some info: The simulator requires somewhat of a beefy setup to run it. You need a gaming computer for sure. This simulator is not easy to play, it is pretty authentic, so if you're new to railroading, you might get real frustrated if you don't already know how steam engines operate. And the engines don't just start and go...even on the quickest settings, you still have to do some work to get them going and it takes TIME.You can get the simulator for yourself here:ckhollidayplans.com/disneyland-railroad-steam-simulatorMy computer specs:Ryzen 7 3700 4.0GHzNVIDIA GTX 3060Ti 8GB overclocked32GB RAM---------------------------------I plan to sail to the UK to film dozens upon dozens of historic places for this channel, if you would like to learn more about it, or help support the effort, visit the GoFundMe link below!GoFundMe: gofund.me/0598f205For business inquiries (no sponsorship requests) email me:alexthehistorian55@gmail.comMy TikTok: @alex.the.historian.realMy X account: @AlexAHistorianMy Facebook Alex the Historian: facebook.com/alexthehistorianMy Facebook Alex Adner: facebook.com/profile.php?id=100072128328793***If you see social media accounts that look similar, but do not match the above names/links.

The oldest piece of the collection dates back to 1952, and the newest piece is from 1967...however the entire set is all the same Art Deco design introduced aboard the RMS Queen Mary in 1936 when it had its maiden voyage. The only thing that has changed between the pieces from the 30's and the 60's was the color changeover from ivory white, to eggshell white. HOW TO CARE FOR VINTAGE CHINA: always hand-wash in warm water with dish soap using the soft part of the sponge, never scrub with any abrasive, no matter how soft the abrasive is...because over time, even the softest abrasive can wear away at the glaze coating on the china. Store china in a protected place away from direct sunlight, and away from spaces where they can be damaged. When ready to use teapots, teacups, hot water pitchers or any other china vessel meant to hold hot liquids...remember to ALWAYS do a pre-warm up. NEVER pour extra hot, or boiling water into/onto china or the thermal shock WILL crack them! Helpful tip: if your china was made before the year 1975, it may have been made with lead, using china only on occasion, poses minimal risk of lead poisoning. But NEVER drink from cracked china that was produced before 1975 because the health risk increases.PREWARM STEP 1: Run the hot liquid vessels under the hottest tap water you have and fill the teapot, teacup, and other hot liquid vessels with hot tap water until your boiling water is ready. PREWARM STEP 2: When your boiling water is ready, pour out ONLY HALF of the hot tap water from the vessels, then top the rest off with the boiling water. Allow the china to sit for a minute to equalize in heat (the china may be too hot to touch at this point).STEP 3, THE TEA: Pour out all the pre-warming water from the teapot and fill it with boiling water and place your tea in for the designated amount of time. You may want to allow the boiling water to cool down to a particular temperature for certain teas. The teacup must keep its pre-warming water until the tea is finished brewing, then you can dump out the water, and pour in the tea!

I Lived In A Haunted Apartment | STORY Alex the Historian 2023-10-06 | Before I moved into a new apartment in 2020, I had never lived in a haunted one before. I'd lived in MANY places throughout my life, but this one was eye-opening and at times, very frightening.This video is not typical of my channel content. I usually focus on history, but in this case, I felt I had to tell my story of what it was like to live in that apartment.#haunted #haunted_story #ghoststories

Fort Vancouver: A Historic Gem | HISTORY Alex the Historian 2023-09-23 | Fort Vancouver is an interesting historic site because even though it is right in the middle of a huge metropolitan area...not many locals even know it's there.

Chop up fresh dill, dried dill doesn't taste good in this sandwich. Place chopped dill in a small mixing bowl, add 2 Tbsps of cream cheese, 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise, a pinch of salt, and 1/8th teaspoon of granulated garlic or garlic powder. Mix the spread until all ingredients are combined. Apply the spread to soft sandwich bread of your choice, then lay the cucumber planks down on one of the slices of bread, making sure to overlap the cucumber. Place the other bread slice on top, wrap in plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 2 hours. 15 minutes prior to serving, remove the sandwich, cut off the crusts, cut the sandwich into thirds (finger sandwiches), and arrange it on a plate.

LIVE: Disneyland Railroad Simulator Alex the Historian 2023-08-06 | This Disneyland Railroad Simulator is the REAL DEAL. It is as ACCURATE as you can get to running a live steam locomotive, in terms of gaming. It was created by Preston N. and it's sole purpose was authentic running of Disneyland's original two steam engines, C.K. Holliday and E.P. Ripley in 1955/57. #disneyland #disneylandrailroad #trains Some info: The simulator requires somewhat of a beefy setup to run it. You need a gaming computer for sure. This simulator is not easy to play, it is pretty authentic, so if you're new to railroading, you might get real frustrated if you don't already know how steam engines operate. And the engines don't just start and go...even on the quickest settings, you still have to do some work to get them going and it takes TIME.You can get the simulator for yourself here:ckhollidayplans.com/disneyland-railroad-steam-simulatorMy computer specs:Ryzen 7 3700 4.0GHzNVIDIA GTX 3060Ti 8GB overclocked32GB RAM---------------------------------I plan to sail to the UK to film dozens upon dozens of historic places for this channel, if you would like to learn more about it, or help support the effort, visit the links below!Video: youtube.com/watch?v=lcx4BfriWhQGoFundMe: gofund.me/0598f205TO CONTACT ME: My EMAIL is for business inquiries ONLY.

LIVE: Afternoon Tea With Alex | 7/26/23 Alex the Historian 2023-07-27 | Let's chat about ocean liners, trains, and other historic travel as we enjoy a virtual afternoon Tea service, Cunard style! My father's YouTube channel:youtube.com/@DishingWithJoeIf you wish to donate to, or learn about my UK trip, just visit these links!Video: youtube.com/watch?v=lcx4BfriWhQGoFundMe: gofund.me/0598f205Link to the music in this video (from HenryHallFan)youtube.com/watch?v=cZMmzgv3jGg&t=3300sCUCUMBER SANDWICHES: A basic recipe for the cucumber sandwiches sometimes featured on my live stream is: Slice planks out of half a cucumber, there should be at least 5 planks. Chop up fresh dill, dried dill doesn't taste good in this sandwich. Place chopped dill in a small mixing bowl, add 2 Tbsps of cream cheese, 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise, a pinch of salt, and 1/8th teaspoon of granulated garlic or garlic powder. Mix the spread until all ingredients are combined. Apply the spread to soft sandwich bread of your choice, then lay the cucumber planks down on one of the slices of bread, making sure to overlap the cucumber. Place the other bread slice on top, wrap in plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 2 hours. 15 minutes prior to serving, remove the sandwich, cut off the crusts, cut the sandwich into thirds (finger sandwiches), and arrange it on a plate. Serve and enjoy with tea!ABOUT MY TEA SET: The entire set of china I use every live stream, aside from the silverware and tea infusers -are vintage items that were actually used aboard old Cunard ships. Most of my collection is from the RMS Queen Mary (1934) and RMS Queen Elizabeth (1938). But it's possible some other items may be from other Cunard ships of the mid-century such as RMS Mauretania (1938), RMS Sylvania (1957), and RMS Caronia (1947). The oldest piece of the collection dates back to 1952, and the newest piece is from 1967...however the entire set is all the same Art Deco design introduced aboard the RMS Queen Mary in 1936 when it had its maiden voyage. The only thing that has changed between the pieces from the 30's and the 60's was the color changeover from ivory white, to eggshell white. HOW TO CARE FOR VINTAGE CHINA: always hand-wash in warm water with dish soap using the soft part of the sponge, never scrub with any abrasive, no matter how soft the abrasive is...because over time, even the softest abrasive can wear away at the glaze coating on the china. Store china in a protected place away from direct sunlight, and away from spaces where they can be damaged. When ready to use teapots, teacups, hot water pitchers or any other china vessel meant to hold hot liquids...remember to ALWAYS do a pre-warm up. NEVER pour extra hot, or boiling water into/onto china or the thermal shock WILL crack them! Helpful tip: if your china was made before the year 1975, it may have been made with lead, using china only on occasion, poses minimal risk of lead poisoning. But NEVER drink from cracked china that was produced before 1975 because the health risk increases.PREWARM STEP 1: Run the hot liquid vessels under the hottest tap water you have and fill the teapot, teacup, and other hot liquid vessels with hot tap water until your boiling water is ready. PREWARM STEP 2: When your boiling water is ready, pour out ONLY HALF of the hot tap water from the vessels, then top the rest off with the boiling water. Allow the china to sit for a minute to equalize in heat (the china may be too hot to touch at this point).STEP 3, THE TEA: Pour out all the pre-warming water from the teapot and fill it with boiling water and place your tea in for the designated amount of time. You may want to allow the boiling water to cool down to a particular temperature for certain teas. The teacup must keep its pre-warming water until the tea is finished brewing, then you can dump out the water, and pour in the tea!

LIVE: Model Railroad Work - On30 Scale (07/23/23) Alex the Historian 2023-07-24 | This is my On30 scale layout called Tumblerock Canyon Railroad. It is O scale, running on HO scale tracks to simulate a 30-inch gauge between the rails. As such all the buildings and scenery will be in O scale and all the trains are narrow-gauge equipment. This layout will be an ode to the Oregon Country of the 1890s where logging, farming, and mining were king. The layout will be covered in forested hills and mountains, and the small town will be merely a whistle-stop for the local industries as passengers and cargo are transported to Portland to go further distances.Link to my layout update videos:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDqmmVa5ShzdzAJt0Pq7gX3akE7wGxbF4---------------------------------I plan to sail to the UK to film dozens upon dozens of historic places for this channel, if you would like to learn more about it, or help support the effort, visit the links below!Video: youtube.com/watch?v=lcx4BfriWhQGoFundMe: gofund.me/0598f205TO CONTACT ME: My EMAIL is for business inquiries ONLY.

Some collectors say that abstract logs from the war can list the ship traveling 38 or more knots for a brief period.CREDIT:Drone footage in this video is credited to:Dronesphere: youtube.com/watch?v=P5JK5830BzoANDJose Manuel Garcia: youtube.com/watch?v=G6cCEpxANw0&t=2sANDAero Realm: youtube.com/watch?v=hEaMFXbVDwA&t=1s Some War Photographs credit to Queen Mary Ghost Club on Facebook: facebook.com/groups/1242345776160863Photo-altered image of Queen Mary striking HMS Curacoa created by Shilo from @henryhallfan Some on-board footage taken in 2023 was done by my good friend Kris from the @LMGVids YouTube channel My research was aided by my good friend and Queen Mary historian Steve from @theblueriband MUSIC: "Scott Buckley - Horizons" is under a Creative Commons (CC BY 3.0) license.https://youtube.com/user/musicbyscottbMusic promoted by BreakingCopyright: youtu.be/_D5Dc_BTdrw @ScottBuckley "The Travelling Symphony" is under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0)youtube.com/savfkmusicMusic promoted by BreakingCopyright: youtube.com/watch?v=yIF56YN5M_Q @SavfkMusic "Hayden Folker - Lock And Load" is under a Creative Commons (CC BY 3.0) license.https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...https://haydenfolkermusic.comMusic promoted by BreakingCopyright: youtu.be/_DCFxKXhzbg "Alex Productions - Eglair" is under a Creative Commons (CC BY 3.0) license. @alexproductionsnocopyright Music promoted by BreakingCopyright: youtu.be/mqrd4O1lOlM "Keys of Moon - Flowing Energy" is under a Creative Commons (CC-BY 3.0) license @KeysofMoonMusic Music promoted by BreakingCopyright: bit.ly/bkc-flowing 'Omega' by Scott Buckley is under a Creative Commons license (CC BY 3.0) @ScottBuckley Music promoted by BreakingCopyright: youtube.com/watch?v=AHsnHv-wkus 'Ascension' by @ScottBuckley :youtube.com/watch?v=fMx5roxJ7Uk "Keys of Moon - The Inspiration" is under a Creative Commons (CC BY 3.0) license.https://creativecommons.org/licenses/... @KeysofMoonMusic Music promoted by BreakingCopyright: youtu.be/hLND7eGPaOc "Savfk - Song of the Wanderers" is under a Creative Commons (CC BY 3.0) license.https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...youtube.com/savfkmusicMusic promoted by BreakingCopyright: youtu.be/8FMLB7vilt4 "Keys Of Moon - North Edge" is under a Creative Commons (CC-BY 3.0) licenseMusic promoted by BreakingCopyright: bit.ly/bkc-north "Hayden Folker - To See The Past" is under a Creative Commons (CC BY 3.0) license.https://soundcloud.com/hayden-folkerMusic promoted by BreakingCopyright: youtu.be/x66xYJn5Oco"Alex Productions - Elite" is under a Creative Commons (CC BY 3.0) license. soundcloud.com/alexproductionsMusic promoted by BreakingCopyright: youtu.be/0Q7QpKVUlc8 "Scott Buckley - Snowfall" is under a Creative Commons license Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC BY 3.0) @ScottBuckley Music promoted by BreakingCopyright: youtu.be/htAlfvjQrQU---------------------------------I plan to sail to the UK to film historic places for this channel, click the links to learn more!Video: youtube.com/watch?v=lcx4BfriWhQGoFundMe: gofund.me/0598f205TO CONTACT ME: leave a comment.

LIVE: Afternoon Tea With Alex | 6/21/23 Alex the Historian 2023-06-22 | Let's chat about ocean liners, trains, and other historic travel as we enjoy a virtual afternoon Tea service, Cunard style!

Chop up fresh dill, dried dill doesn't taste good in this sandwich. Place chopped dill in a small mixing bowl, add 2 Tbsps of cream cheese, 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise, a pinch of salt, and 1/8th teaspoon of granulated garlic or garlic powder. Mix the spread until all ingredients are combined. Apply the spread to soft sandwich bread of your choice, then lay the cucumber planks down on one of the slices of bread, making sure to overlap the cucumber. Place the other bread slice on top, wrap in plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 2 hours. 15 minutes prior to serving, remove the sandwich, cut off the crusts, cut the sandwich into thirds (finger sandwiches), and arrange it on a plate. Serve and enjoy with tea!ABOUT MY TEA SET: The entire set of china I use every live stream, aside from the silverware and tea infusers -are vintage items that were actually used aboard old Cunard ships. Most of my collection is from the RMS Queen Mary (1934) and RMS Queen Elizabeth (1938). But it's possible some other items may be from other Cunard ships of the mid-century such as RMS Mauretania (1938), RMS Sylvania (1957), and RMS Caronia (1947). The oldest piece of the collection dates back to 1952, and the newest piece is from 1967...however the entire set is all the same Art Deco design introduced aboard the RMS Queen Mary in 1936 when it had its maiden voyage. The only thing that has changed between the pieces from the 30's and the 60's was the color changeover from ivory white, to eggshell white. HOW TO CARE FOR VINTAGE CHINA: always hand-wash in warm water with dish soap using the soft part of the sponge, never scrub with any abrasive, no matter how soft the abrasive is...because over time, even the softest abrasive can wear away at the glaze coating on the china. Store china in a protected place away from direct sunlight, and away from spaces where they can be damaged. When ready to use teapots, teacups, hot water pitchers or any other china vessel meant to hold hot liquids...remember to ALWAYS do a pre-warm up. NEVER pour extra hot, or boiling water into/onto china or the thermal shock WILL crack them! Helpful tip: if your china was made before the year 1975, it may have been made with lead, using china only on occasion, poses minimal risk of lead poisoning. But NEVER drink from cracked china that was produced before 1975 because the health risk increases.PREWARM STEP 1: Run the hot liquid vessels under the hottest tap water you have and fill the teapot, teacup, and other hot liquid vessels with hot tap water until your boiling water is ready. PREWARM STEP 2: When your boiling water is ready, pour out ONLY HALF of the hot tap water from the vessels, then top the rest off with the boiling water. Allow the china to sit for a minute to equalize in heat (the china may be too hot to touch at this point).STEP 3, THE TEA: Pour out all the pre-warming water from the teapot and fill it with boiling water and place your tea in for the designated amount of time. You may want to allow the boiling water to cool down to a particular temperature for certain teas. The teacup must keep its pre-warming water until the tea is finished brewing, then you can dump out the water, and pour in the tea!

LIVE: Afternoon Tea With Alex | 5/17/23 Alex the Historian 2023-05-18 | Let's chat about ocean liners, trains, and other historic travel as we enjoy a virtual afternoon Tea service, Cunard style! If you wish to donate to, or learn about my UK trip, just visit these links!Video: youtube.com/watch?v=lcx4BfriWhQGoFundMe: gofund.me/0598f205Link to the music in this video (from HenryHallFan)youtube.com/watch?v=cZMmzgv3jGg&t=3300sCUCUMBER SANDWICHES: A basic recipe for the cucumber sandwiches sometimes featured on my live stream is: Slice planks out of half a cucumber, there should be at least 5 planks. Chop up fresh dill, dried dill doesn't taste good in this sandwich. Place chopped dill in a small mixing bowl, add 2 Tbsps of cream cheese, 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise, a pinch of salt, and 1/8th teaspoon of granulated garlic or garlic powder. Mix the spread until all ingredients are combined. Apply the spread to soft sandwich bread of your choice, then lay the cucumber planks down on one of the slices of bread, making sure to overlap the cucumber. Place the other bread slice on top, wrap in plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 2 hours. 15 minutes prior to serving, remove the sandwich, cut off the crusts, cut the sandwich into thirds (finger sandwiches), and arrange it on a plate. Serve and enjoy with tea!ABOUT MY TEA SET: The entire set of china I use every live stream, aside from the silverware and tea infusers -are vintage items that were actually used aboard old Cunard ships. Most of my collection is from the RMS Queen Mary (1934) and RMS Queen Elizabeth (1938). But it's possible some other items may be from other Cunard ships of the mid-century such as RMS Mauretania (1938), RMS Sylvania (1957), and RMS Caronia (1947). The oldest piece of the collection dates back to 1952, and the newest piece is from 1967...however the entire set is all the same Art Deco design introduced aboard the RMS Queen Mary in 1936 when it had its maiden voyage. The only thing that has changed between the pieces from the 30's and the 60's was the color changeover from ivory white, to eggshell white. HOW TO CARE FOR VINTAGE CHINA: always hand-wash in warm water with dish soap using the soft part of the sponge, never scrub with any abrasive, no matter how soft the abrasive is...because over time, even the softest abrasive can wear away at the glaze coating on the china. Store china in a protected place away from direct sunlight, and away from spaces where they can be damaged. When ready to use teapots, teacups, hot water pitchers or any other china vessel meant to hold hot liquids...remember to ALWAYS do a pre-warm up. NEVER pour extra hot, or boiling water into/onto china or the thermal shock WILL crack them! Helpful tip: if your china was made before the year 1975, it may have been made with lead, using china only on occasion, poses minimal risk of lead poisoning. But NEVER drink from cracked china that was produced before 1975 because the health risk increases.PREWARM STEP 1: Run the hot liquid vessels under the hottest tap water you have and fill the teapot, teacup, and other hot liquid vessels with hot tap water until your boiling water is ready. PREWARM STEP 2: When your boiling water is ready, pour out ONLY HALF of the hot tap water from the vessels, then top the rest off with the boiling water. Allow the china to sit for a minute to equalize in heat (the china may be too hot to touch at this point).STEP 3, THE TEA: Pour out all the pre-warming water from the teapot and fill it with boiling water and place your tea in for the designated amount of time. You may want to allow the boiling water to cool down to a particular temperature for certain teas. The teacup must keep its pre-warming water until the tea is finished brewing, then you can dump out the water, and pour in the tea!
