The Grapes was a waterfront tavern patronised by the dock workers of Limehouse. 

Originally called The Bunch of Grapes, this cosy, unassuming pub first opened its doors to parched Londoners in 1583

In 1820, the young Charles Dickens visited the pub with his godfather. The reference to The Grapes in the opening chapter of Our Mutual Friend is clear, as he speaks of a “tavern of dropsical appearance” and notes how “it had outlasted many a sprucer public house”.

More recently, The Grapes survived the Blitz in the Second World War when most of its surrounding area was demolished.

This sign at a field hospital in Papua New Guinea exaggerates the consequences of not taking anti-malaria meds. Despite its nasty side effects—like turning the skin yellow—atabrine was instrumental in getting a handle on the malaria problem.

Both the Titanic and Olympic were launched in 1911 by White Star Line, one of the companies competing to make bigger and better “superliners,” and financed partially by American tycoon J.P. Morgan, who was actually set to sail aboard the Titanic before opting out at the last minute. The two vessels were practically mirror images of one another
