Product Description
It has been a century since the Lusitania made her maiden voyage across the North Atlantic. For seven-and-a-half years, she crossed that rugged ocean with punctuality and dependability. She fast became a living legend, the ship of choice for many of the trans-Atlantic travelers. Since her sinking on May 7, 1915, however, her wondrous career and technological marvels have largely been neglected. Instead, the focus has shifted to her political importance, and on numerous conspiracy theories about her last voyage and sinking. This illustrated biography of the Lusitania discusses her entire story, from her conception and birth to her career and, finally, to her tragic demise; it reveals her as she has never been seen before. Prepare to take a journey back in time... step aboard the decks of one of the world's largest, fastest, and most beloved ocean liners, and relive her history in all its splendor.
