@TheGlassBroke No, the Germans declaied unrestricted submarine warfare meaning they shot at anything in the water. They didn't care if it was carring passengers or munitions, all they knew was they were going to sink it.
President Woodrow Wilson promised the American people he would not go to war in his administration... So he sent ammo to England hoping something like this would happen so he would have an excuse to Join the war! They probably made this as a false flag attack like all presidents do... he informed Nazi Spy's or Gestapo of a cruise ship with Munitions aboard.. Theirs your excuse to go to war!! lol!
this film is propaganda.unclassified government documents(freedom of information act) prove england sank it with bombs in a false flag attack,then blamed it on germany.Of the killed 128 were U.S. citizens.Thats how they got America in the war,by the way they(england)was losing to the germans(cousins to englands king,their all germans house of hannover)and they got desperate and conned the U.S. people.They don't want to lose their 1000years of plunder(jewels,gold,ark of covenant monotomic gold.
@spencermel WRONG! Germany admitted to hitting the Lusitania with one torpedo. But the reason they hit it was cause they knew the US was supplying Britain with ammo and bombs. And using steamliners for transporting them. It was a second explosion that actually cause the ship to sink and it was the muntons on board that caused the 2nd explosion. In 2008 they went down and found guns and ammo only the US made. Which proves your theory wrong.
the reason the ship is disfigured is because in the 40's, the german's were detonating bombs for tests, i think. the shock waves slammed into the ship's hull, And now the ship looks uglier than J.B. (Justin Bieber) lol
If some fucking director ever makes a movie about the sinking of the Lusitania and inserts some "bohemian" character that falls for some rich spoiled little bitch with a one-dimensional villianous husband and makes those two and their "love story" the central focus of that story of the sinking of the Lusitania.....I WILL PERSONALLY HUNT THE FUCKING DIRECTOR DOWN AND KILL THE FUCKER!

it's sad that the mean Germany sunken the ship with innocent lives.over a 1,000 people died and like 100 or more children died.hope they rest in peace
It disgusts me that Germany did such a thing to an innocent ship, the matter of the secondary explosion was due to an empty coal bunker with flamable coal dust inside it that caught fire. and over 1000 lives were lost because of them.
@ghoststar i agree with u dude dont trust germans, italians, japanese anymore to build an army they cant be trusted too bad. no hurt feeling please because its true it happened before and im sure it will happen again :(
May I just tell you that someone said there was another sister ship called the Zusitania. I thought he was talking rubbish, but he showed me pictures of a ship that looked similar to the Lusitania but it wasn't actually it. It wasn't the Aquitania or the Mauretania, much more different in shape.
@CarBonkers what are you talking about?! Cunard built 2 ships along with the lusitania. The Mauritania and the Aquitania. There was no third sister ship
That's false when they're all bobbing up and down in the water. The lifeboats would be trying to get the hell away as fast as they could, while the people in the water would be trying to get in, resulting in them getting swamped
@ryster8 The second one (starting at 0:55) is "Pine Apple Rag" by Scott Joplin. The first one is also one of well-known rags, but I can't recall a name.
Why the hell did the Port Authorities allow that ship to leave New York harbor, knowing it carried munitions. They deliberately let innocent people sail on The Lusitania on the very day that the German Embassy warned the American public in the newspapers that Lusitania would be torpedoed. Sure Lusitania's name wasn't mentioned in the warning but everyone knew that she was what the German Embassy was referring to.
the wreck is disfigured because the british navy thought it would make good target practice. but clearly there is more behind it.. because if the "the lusitania was loaded with guns" theory is true, clearly the navy wanted to cover that up. but the navy did shoot it up and wreck the well, "wreck".
Did you guys know there were a few people on the ship that had been survivors of the Titanic? It that happened 2 me I would for sure never even touch a ship again...
@bkmoore773 Well, that suggests a "chance" incident. The historical fact that it was not, It was deliberately put out there as a target to induce the reluctant US to join a war against a nation that was not its enemy. Hardly would I call that a "failure of imagination". How about "Winston Churchill was a HUGE war criminal!" Mass killing of civilians, was a method he championed as deliberate policy right to the end of WW II. It was criminal use of 'imagination".
@FilhodeViriato Cunard and White Star just had a custom of naming their ships Roman names.e.g:Lusitania for Portugal,Mauretania for Morocco,Persia,Parthia,Scythia,etc.
@jetfire5091 the Titanic and her sister ship Olympic were bigger than the Lusitania, and her sister ship Mauretania. The Cunard liner Aquitania was slightly bigger than the Olympic class liners, I think. Titanic's other sister, Britannic (which was bigger still) shared the same fate as Titanic and Lusitania.
In 1914 the german cruiser "Karlsruhe" destroyed some british vessels in the Caribbeans. These ships were torpedoed after crews and passengers were forced to enter the lifeboats. The commander of this U-Boot could have destroyed the rudder of the Lusitania first to announce further and more serious action in order to save these lifes.
There was no need to sink this ship within 18 minutes!
There is a great new book (Did these stories really happen?) at amazon! This book proves the Lusitania brought the USA into WW1 and was more important than The Titanic!
There is definately explosive damage since the sinking. Theres speculation Uboats in WW2 used the wreck as a hiding place against sonar from the British/Irish navy. Therefore its no suprise many divers have found numerous unexploded hedgehog mortars and other depth charge ordinance lying around on the seabed. Sad thing too since it has accelerated the collapse and decay of the wreck.
Following the success of "Titanic", it was only fitting to use some of the asame tricks to resurrect the Lusitania. As far as movies go, this one actually does a fair job or recreating the horror of the actual event. The ship, crew and passengers were in a sense really pawns in the grand scheme of things. The tragedy became the rallying cry for America to enter WWI.
Anyone notice anything funny about the Bridge interior? It's configuration is all wrong!!! The wheelhouse is also missing, which was an additional enclosement in the aft part of the bridge that contained the main wheel and telemotor. Most pre-WW1 liners had this installment, like the Titanic, for example.
see my coming documentary, it reveals what bullshit anyone can come up with ..its called Neo Nazi Communists try to re-write history to suit their own Agenda
I'm the first to say that Churchill was a hero in WW2 but c'mon he was such an ass in WW1...
Confiscation of Turkish ships for no reason (leading to Ottoman entry and, hum, EVERY Mid-East conflict since then), using British raiders under American flags to attack German merchants (result: unrestricted submarine warfare adopted), Gallipoli (Kitchener's Alexandretta plan was way better) and so on...
You can't blame every subsequent middle east conflict on Churchill. That's simply historically inaccurate. Also the human beach assault at Gallipoli was advised by Kitchener - Churchill wanted only a Naval bombardment which nearly worked; the Turks were down to their last three shells.
Turkish ships weren't confiscated 'for no reason'. German cruisers 'Goeben' and 'Breslau' sailed to Constantinople harbour and were reflagged as 'Sultan Yavuz Selim' and 'Middili' beforehand.
"The Turkish army was permeated with German advisors" according to historian Richard Holmes. They would have fought on the German side sooner or later.
Youtube is really not the place for proper debate on anything. But as we're on the subject, it is generally accepted by most historians that muslim Turks used WW1 as a distraction to carry out ethnic and religious genocide of around 1.5 MILLION Armenians which they still lack the moral fibre to admit to today.
Did anyone know that the RMS Lusitania had another sister? She was called Zusitania and cruised until 1954. She servived through both war and became unreliable in 1952
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
There are many very interesting reflections and ideas contained in the comments here - but remember one thing - it was the desire of one nation for the territory of other nations that was at the heart of this war.
I hope in this modern era all the nations of the world have discontinued their ambitions for the resources or territories of others and learned from the waste of lives in this and that other evil war two decades later.
Is it true that Audrey Pearl is the only living Lusitania survivor? It's so sad to see all the last survivors from such tragedies pass away like Millvina Dean, the last Titanic survivor. Who were the last Lusitania survivors besides her and Barbara McDermott?
I have always been interested in the Lusitania in a social historical way. The ship was loaded with arms to be rained on German's..So why not sink her. It makes sense to do from a German point of view. The real criminals in this story are those who would allow people to put on a ship loaded with arms into enemy sites. It really is a embarrassment to England and the USA to have allowed this. I do not blame Germany for sinking her. Would not the Allies do the same if the story was reversed?
The Lusitania was the World Trade Centers of its day. Winston Churchill had been warned not to allow that ship to go out of harbor with munitions but he did, without escort knowing there were U-boats aiming for her. That act helped galvanize the United States to Britain's defense in WW1. Today it's another nation we were suckered to "defend".
@kassandrasduplex What a load of shite. More ignorant American bullshit. Churchill had nothing to do with Turners decision to sail. You didn't defend anyone plus Congress declared war after many US ships were sunk by U boats. It had nothing to do with being "suckered" "America is too proud to fight" every heard those words?
@jfs78 Thats utter nonsense that does not excuse cold blooded murder of woman, children and innocent non combatents- rather than regreting what it had done, germany was very proud and boastful of this piratsey, the world was stunned, saddened and rightfuly outraged. This act of wiskedness cost germany dearly in the long run
@jfs78 No, I don't think so. We refrain from attacking Al-Qaeda leaders because they hide surrounded by innocent people who would die by the hundreds if we were to ignore their presence. Yes, it was criminal to hide munitions in a merchant ship carrying innocent passengers, I agree. But it was equally criminal to sink that ship with all those innocents aboard. Something else could have, and should have, been done. In war there is no good guy. The WWII bombing of Dresden was a crime, too.
@MokomaSusi Yes, unfortunately that happens, I don't deny it and I hate it. But hundreds more would die if we just went in and attacked like cavaliers. If we did, we would certainly kill or capture the enemies, but at the price of hundreds of innocent lives. We are fighting a war against people who are trying to destroy us. All the while we are also trying very hard NOT to kill or injure innocents, something the Imperial German Navy didn't take concern with in the case of the Lusitania.
Its stupid, like why would the germans, beung so busy fighting almost all europe, wanted to sink an american boat unpopouse? just like in the goulf of tonkin incident or in the 9-11 attacks, they attack america for nothing, no invasion no nothing, just a small kick the butt and run away, as if theywanted not to destroy america but just to make her go to war.
and always with the happy coincidence of being attack by a politicaly convenient country, some arabs and not some jews, noth vietnamese and not north-vietnamese.
btw, did you know about another amercian boat that went under attack during the 7 day war by isrraeli armed forces? well, america didnt eneter the war agains isrrael, did she?
churchill wollte mgl. viele amerikanische opfer in der seefahert durch deutsche u boote um amerika in den krieg hineinzuziehen ,man hätte dieses schiff leicht um irland auf der nordumfahrung herumleiten können ,statt dessen liess man es absichtlich südlich um irland herumfahren obwohl man wusste das da starke deutsche u boot präsenz herrschte und begleitschutz bekam die lusitania auch nicht! der erste versuch in der geschichte eines "inside jobs"!
I have a question for anyone to answer. what do you think caused the second explosion. there are alot of theories, and alot of impossible to prove possibilities. So I:m just curious what other people think.
Cool!!!!! Thats what I thought too!!!! I read about it in a book about the Lusitania. A lot of people thought it was because of arms in the magazine (however its spelled) but apparently the magazine was undamaged, so that doesn't work. I always thought the coal idea to be the most likely. :)
I dont remeber seeing the part when the front of the ship hits the ocean only just when the bridge floods in lusitania terror at sea? does somebody know???
Out of 1,959 people on the Lusitania, 1,198 people drowned, including 128 Americans and nearly 100 children. Only 761 people survived, 56 more than the Titanic in 1912. Out of the 139 Americans onboard, only a mere 11 Americans survived, causing American controversy if they should join the war in Europe or not. The name of the German U-Boat that sank the Lusitania was called U-20. The Lusitania sank only 7 miles away from the coast of Ireland. :'-(
Actually Lusitania was carrying 3 thousand tons of ammunition. And the German embassy in New York warned the passengers not to travel on that ship in to a war zone. Even some British admiral admitted after the war that Germans had every right to destroy that ship...
I know that and understand that they had the right to torpedo the ship, but it was still a bad idea as it directly lead to entry of the United States into the war on the allied side.
Yes, it was officially the little match that started the flame. But i am sure that USA would join the war one way or another, they just needed "public moral excuse" or something like that. (Isn't it strange that history is repeating?) :)
Rather than "heroic human" US intervention, it was more for a business and industry competition reasons...
The Lusitania was sunk in May 1915. The US did not go to war over it. The US entered the war two years later in April 1917 because the Germans were trying to encourage Mexico (with Japanese support) to declare war on a still neutral US. The US involvement did not alter the result of the war - the vast British navy was blockading Germany and the people were starving to death. Capitulation by Germany was a matter of time. US involvement did shorten the war however.
It was not the catalyst the made the US enter the war but what it did do was irreversably swing public opinion in favour of the allies, an opinion that was quite divided within America. Also, the event with Mexico was called the Zimmerman telegram.
The German Embassy attempted to place ads in 50 U.S. newspapers warning that the Lusitania was a target(legitimately) of war. Last year, it was confirmed that the Germans were right. Why did the US gov. prevent these ads from appearing in the papers? This indeed became the centerpeice of the national campaign to generate emotional support for coming into the war. Since we know(or should know) that bankers are the real power, does it surprise us that JP Morgan is knee deep in this one?
thats right, but, the only reason why germany wanted mexico to atack USA was to avoid her to enter the war, not because they felt indignated by the mexican-"american" war or some crazy stuff like that, and secound the japanese were not involved in those eforts, moreover, I might be mistakened but I think tha japanese were on the other side on this first war, might be wrong, and last but not least, I see you are a patriot and hate the yanks but in a war that took so many lifes USA made diference
according to the germans, they said that the lustaninia had ventured into thier blockade route and also said that they were arms and munitons hidden on the lustianaia as well. as for the mysterious explosion i dont know
None of the film was from the titanic or britannic it was all from the movie lusitania.

Anyone notice anything funny about the Bridge interior? It's configuration is all wrong!!! The wheelhouse is also missing, which was an additional enclosement in the aft part of the bridge that contained the main wheel and telemotor. Most pre-WW1 liners had this installment, like the Titanic, for example.

I'm the first to say that Churchill was a hero in WW2 but c'mon he was such an ass in WW1...
Confiscation of Turkish ships for no reason (leading to Ottoman entry and, hum, EVERY Mid-East conflict since then), using British raiders under American flags to attack German merchants (result: unrestricted submarine warfare adopted), Gallipoli (Kitchener's Alexandretta plan was way better) and so on...
Nobodywantsme 2 years ago
You can't blame every subsequent middle east conflict on Churchill. That's simply historically inaccurate. Also the human beach assault at Gallipoli was advised by Kitchener - Churchill wanted only a Naval bombardment which nearly worked; the Turks were down to their last three shells.
Turkish ships weren't confiscated 'for no reason'. German cruisers 'Goeben' and 'Breslau' sailed to Constantinople harbour and were reflagged as 'Sultan Yavuz Selim' and 'Middili' beforehand.

"The Turkish army was permeated with German advisors" according to historian Richard Holmes. They would have fought on the German side sooner or later.
Youtube is really not the place for proper debate on anything. But as we're on the subject, it is generally accepted by most historians that muslim Turks used WW1 as a distraction to carry out ethnic and religious genocide of around 1.5 MILLION Armenians which they still lack the moral fibre to admit to today.

There are many very interesting reflections and ideas contained in the comments here - but remember one thing - it was the desire of one nation for the territory of other nations that was at the heart of this war.
I hope in this modern era all the nations of the world have discontinued their ambitions for the resources or territories of others and learned from the waste of lives in this and that other evil war two decades later.

I have always been interested in the Lusitania in a social historical way. The ship was loaded with arms to be rained on German's..So why not sink her. It makes sense to do from a German point of view. The real criminals in this story are those who would allow people to put on a ship loaded with arms into enemy sites. It really is a embarrassment to England and the USA to have allowed this. I do not blame Germany for sinking her. Would not the Allies do the same if the story was reversed?
jfs78 2 years ago 30
The Lusitania was the World Trade Centers of its day. Winston Churchill had been warned not to allow that ship to go out of harbor with munitions but he did, without escort knowing there were U-boats aiming for her. That act helped galvanize the United States to Britain's defense in WW1. Today it's another nation we were suckered to "defend".

@kassandrasduplex What a load of shite. More ignorant American bullshit. Churchill had nothing to do with Turners decision to sail.

@jfs78 No, I don't think so. We refrain from attacking Al-Qaeda leaders because they hide surrounded by innocent people who would die by the hundreds if we were to ignore their presence. Yes, it was criminal to hide munitions in a merchant ship carrying innocent passengers, I agree. But it was equally criminal to sink that ship with all those innocents aboard. Something else could have, and should have, been done. In war there is no good guy. The WWII bombing of Dresden was a crime, too.

@MokomaSusi Yes, unfortunately that happens, I don't deny it and I hate it. But hundreds more would die if we just went in and attacked like cavaliers. If we did, we would certainly kill or capture the enemies, but at the price of hundreds of innocent lives. We are fighting a war against people who are trying to destroy us. All the while we are also trying very hard NOT to kill or injure innocents, something the Imperial German Navy didn't take concern with in the case of the Lusitania.

Out of 1,959 people on the Lusitania, 1,198 people drowned, including 128 Americans and nearly 100 children. Only 761 people survived, 56 more than the Titanic in 1912. Out of the 139 Americans onboard, only a mere 11 Americans survived, causing American controversy if they should join the war in Europe or not. The name of the German U-Boat that sank the Lusitania was called U-20. The Lusitania sank only 7 miles away from the coast of Ireland. :'-(

Actually Lusitania was carrying 3 thousand tons of ammunition. And the German embassy in New York warned the passengers not to travel on that ship in to a war zone. Even some British admiral admitted after the war that Germans had every right to destroy that ship...
sisak1987 2 years ago 3
I know that and understand that they had the right to torpedo the ship, but it was still a bad idea as it directly lead to entry of the United States into the war on the allied side.
boxrocks32 2 years ago
Yes, it was officially the little match that started the flame. But i am sure that USA would join the war one way or another, they just needed "public moral excuse" or something like that. (Isn't it strange that history is repeating?) :)
Rather than "heroic human" US intervention, it was more for a business and industry competition reasons...
sisak1987 2 years ago
The Lusitania was sunk in May 1915. The US did not go to war over it. The US entered the war two years later in April 1917 because the Germans were trying to encourage Mexico (with Japanese support) to declare war on a still neutral US. The US involvement did not alter the result of the war - the vast British navy was blockading Germany and the people were starving to death. Capitulation by Germany was a matter of time. US involvement did shorten the war however.
MARKBPHARM 2 years ago
It was not the catalyst the made the US enter the war but what it did do was irreversably swing public opinion in favour of the allies, an opinion that was quite divided within America. Also, the event with Mexico was called the Zimmerman telegram.
boxrocks32 2 years ago
The German Embassy attempted to place ads in 50 U.S. newspapers warning that the Lusitania was a target(legitimately) of war. Last year, it was confirmed that the Germans were right. Why did the US gov. prevent these ads from appearing in the papers? This indeed became the centerpeice of the national campaign to generate emotional support for coming into the war. Since we know(or should know) that bankers are the real power, does it surprise us that JP Morgan is knee deep in this one?
agat0r 2 years ago
thats right, but, the only reason why germany wanted mexico to atack USA was to avoid her to enter the war, not because they felt indignated by the mexican-"american" war or some crazy stuff like that, and secound the japanese were not involved in those eforts, moreover, I might be mistakened but I think tha japanese were on the other side on this first war, might be wrong, and last but not least, I see you are a patriot and hate the yanks but in a war that took so many lifes USA made diference
