On 7 May 1915, U-20 torpedoed the pride of the Cunard fleet, R.M.S. Lusitania. She sank in 18 minutes, taking 1,198 with her and leaving only 761 survivors. Relive her final hours and witness one of the greatest maritime disasters in history.

  • People always say Germany was to blame for the disaster. They were not the only ones to blame, but from what this portrays about the Lusitania carrying ammunition for the british, everone was to blame. In 1993 Robert ballard explored the Lusitania 8 years after he found the Titanic. He found evidence that the Ammo didn't explode, but a cloud of Coal dust caused the second explosion. Coal dust is very explosive.

  • that was nothing more than a massacre

  • @jd00720 A British convoy should've been brought up

  • @TitanicExpert This and the Zimmerman note

  • may be better to cry in the Titanic.

  • @dave86silv83 That's why this film shows the ammo and the Admiralty not redirecting them. "Murder on the Atlantic" has more than one meaning in this case. Brilliant film, IMO.

  • Being stuck in an elevator whilst drowning, or having your leg tangled whilst drowning... I wonder which is worse

  • @AmericanEvita Ismay never pressured Smith into anything, Senora Peron. Even at full speed, the Titanic would never make any headlines. It's an urban myth. And he didn't sneak his way into a lifeboat, Murdoch threw him and a few other passengers in right before it was lowered.

  • Good movie but a slight error on the sinking scene. The seabed was only around 300' below the surface, and as the ship was over 700' long, it could not do a 'Titanic' dive. The position of the wreck on its' starboard side and the breaking of the keel indicates it struck the seabed and skidded as it went under and broke apart.

  • How cold were the water here? Just wondering.

    Titanic's were freezing cold. 0 degrees Celsius.

  • Did I heard someone farted at 7:05

  • This show a bad example of a lifeboat in use HAIZ... may the people rip
