The loss of Cunard’s RMS Lusitania is a story from WW1 though the victims were innocent civilians, many from what was then a neutral State. We follow the events that led up to its attack in May 1915 and we follow the lives of some of the survivors and victims. We also investigate if a successful attack by a German U-Boat on a civilian ship was a legal act of war and why more wasn’t done to prevent the loss of life that followed. As well as a story of war, and a story of deception and possible conspiracy it reveals some interesting aspects of the lives of those onboard, both famous celebrities and ordinary people and how they are remembered today. This is a presentation with interesting images and pictures that will appeal beyond those who might regard it as merely a part of WW1 history.
