"Someone add a photo of Lusitania to this page The RMS Lusitania was a British ocean liner that sailed for the British/American shipping company, Cunard Line. She was launched in 1906 2 months before her younger sister Mauretania. She made her maiden voyage in 1907, many ads were posted about her and the Mauretania mostly saying, Cunard's super-liners : Lusitania, Mauretania. In 1911, she participated in the Hudson Fulton Celebration. Lusitania was sunk on May 7, 1915 from a single torpedo from U-20, this was one of the mass murders that caused America to join the war with Britain. The wreck was discovered between 1970 and 1975 right around the same time of HMHS Britannic's discovery, Lusitania was found in really bad shape and her decks, masts, funnels, lifeboats, etc. we're all gone, she "@en . "Lusitania at the end of the first leg of her maiden voyage, New York City, September 1907."@en . "The RMS Lusitania was an ocean liner torpedoed by the U-20 on 7 May 1915. This act helped provoke the United States into entering World War I two years later. One of the people killed onboard was a petty criminal named Eric Charles Vincent. In an alternative timeline, the Lusitania did not sink due to the Fifth Doctor's intervention. Vincent, having survived, went on to kill Alexander Fleming in a botched robbery attempt in December 1927 before the biologist discovered penicillin. Without the protection offered by penicillin, Earth fell prey to new strains of meningitis and pneumonia in 1956. The survivors never developed a space programme. Consequently, the Knights of Velyshaa were not defeated by the Earth Alliance in 3562 as they otherwise would have been.

When the RMS Lusitania left New York City for Liverpool on what would be her final voyage on 1 May 1915, submarine warfare was intensifying in the Atlantic. Germany had declared the seas around the United Kingdom a war zone, and the German embassy in the United States had placed a newspaper advertisement warning people of the dangers of sailing on the Lusitania. On the afternoon of 7 May, Lusitania was torpedoed by a German U-Boat, miles (km) off the southern coast of Ireland and inside the declared \"zone of war\". A second internal explosion sent her to the bottom of the ocean in 18 minutes. In firing on a non-military ship without warning, the Germans had breached the international laws known as the Cruiser Rules. Although the Germans had reasons for treating Lusitania as a naval vessel, including the facts that the ship was carrying war munitions and the British had been breaching the Cruiser Rules, the sinking caused a storm of protest in the United States, as 128 Americans were among the dead. The ship's sinking provided Britain with a propaganda opportunity, which helped shift public opinion in the United States against Germany and influenced America's eventual declaration of war two years later, in 1917."@en . . .
