Little did anyone know that fate had already set its course for one of history's most infamous tragedies.

The Last Voyage Explorer Adventurer Discovery North - these words echoed with excitement and anticipation. Yet, little did they know that their expedition would be marked as one of history's most fateful endeavors. Just like Arthur drawing his sword Excalibur for the first time, sometimes fate presents us with pivotal moments that shape our lives forever. Similarly, the Cunard Liner Lusitania faced a fateful encounter in 1915 when tragedy struck amidst turbulent times. From waiting executioners to humorous postcards depicting cannibalism in Fiji, humanity has witnessed both dark and whimsical aspects of fate throughout history. Even during World War II, Britain experienced the exact moment war was declared - an event etched into collective memory as a turning point in human destiny. The fateful days of the First French Empire saw Napoleon's coup on November 9th, 1799 - altering not only his own future but also shaping Europe's political landscape for years to come. And among those affected were relatives and friends anxiously scanning lists at Cana; their hopes intertwined with destiny itself. Fate is an enigmatic force that binds us all together through triumphs and tragedies alike. It reminds us to cherish every moment because within them lies unforeseen twists and turns that can alter our lives forever.
