Ocean liner RMS Lusitania, 20th century. Launched in 1906, the Lusitania was built for the Cunard Steamship Line by John Brown & Co on the Clyde.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic ocean liner RMS Lusitania, a true marvel of the 20th century. Launched in 1906, she was an extraordinary creation by the renowned Cunard Steamship Line and built with meticulous craftsmanship by John Brown & Co on the Clyde. With her sleek design and impressive speed, Lusitania held the prestigious Blue Riband for two years as the fastest Atlantic crossing vessel. However, this magnificent ship's fate took a tragic turn on that fateful day of May 7th, 1915. The German submarine U-20 ruthlessly sank her off the Irish coast, claiming the lives of 1198 passengers and crew members. This devastating event forever marked Lusitania's place in history. In this photo print, we witness her grandeur against a backdrop of serene waters. The vibrant colors bring to life every detail - from her towering funnel to her majestic hull - showcasing both Britain's engineering prowess and its love affair with luxurious sea travel during that era. As we gaze upon this image, let us remember not only Lusitania's beauty but also pay tribute to those who lost their lives aboard this ill-fated vessel. It serves as a poignant reminder of how even amidst progress and innovation, tragedy can strike unexpectedly at any moment in our human journey through time.
