Description

The Lusitania Triumph, Tragedy, and the End of the Edwardian Age A century after its sinking, the story of the Lusitania remains an evocative tale of mystery and tragedy. This ship of dreams carried millionaires, aristocrats, actresses, writers, and suffragettes on its final voyage from New York to Liverpool, leaving behind a legacy of glamour and heartbreak. On 1 May 1915, the Lusitania was torpedoed by a German U-boat off the Irish Sea, resulting in the loss of over 1,000 lives. The sinking of this ship marked a turning point in history, drawing the United States into World War I. This book tells the story of the passengers who sailed on the Lusitania, exploring their lives, relationships, and marriages that were forever changed by the tragedy. Through rare archival research, authors Greg King and Penny Wilson bring to life the vibrant world of the Lusitania's passengers, shedding light on a pivotal moment in history.
