There are many photographs of all aspects of this ship along with all pertinent information a bout her machinery, accommodations, and the general layout of her decks and various passenger amenities. Like the book TITANIC, this is a work that highlights the splendor of the great liner LUSITANIA. The sinking of the "Lucy" caused world opinion to shift against Germany, and prompted U.S. She was sunk by torpedo fire from a German U-Boat, in May, 1915, just over eleven miles south of the coast of Ireland, with a loss of 1195 civilian lives. Known for her extreme luxury and speed, she was undeniably one of the foremost ships of her day. One of the premier luxury liners of the early 20th Century, she was the pride of the Cunard Line. This is an excellent work on the life and sinking of LUSITANIA. Bob Ballard has done some of the greatest underwater archeology of the 20th Century.
