Description


Lusitania

RMS Lusitania was a British ocean liner, holder of the Blue Riband and briefly the world's biggest ship (prior to the launch of her running mate Mauretania and her White Star Line rivals RMS Olympic, RMS Titanic and HMHS Britannic). She was launched by the Cunard Line in 1907, at a time of fierce competition for the North Atlantic trade. In 1915 she was torpedoed and sunk by a German U-boat, with heavy loss of life.
