Aimsigh é!
On 7 May 1915, one of the most beloved and legendary liners of the North Atlantic was torpedoed by a German U-boat, taking 1187 of her passengers and crew to an untimely demise. She had become a victim of WWI. A comprehensive two-part look at her entire story, from her origins in the shipyards of Clydebank to her terrible, tragic end, the volumes reveals her as she has never been seen before through words, historical photographs, and breath-taking computer-rendered imagery. Volume Two joins Lusitania on the eve of war, just days after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. It tells her story through the First World War, to her violent sinking and the repercussions in her wake; it details how her name, once synonymous with technological marvels and magic, became a rallying cry on the battlefields.
