Ramsay. Having restored British supremacy of the key North Atlantic passenger route, the speedy Lusitania was the pride of the Cunard Line — until she was torpedoed by a German U-Boat and sunk in May of 1915. This historical account of the tragic event, which resulted in the loss of nearly 1,200 lives, details not only the ship's demise but also its political aftermath (including its contribution, after 128 American citizens perished, to push the United States into the Great War). 256 pages, B&W photos, 6"x 9¼", hardcover.
