EDITORS COMMENTS
This cross-section illustration showcases the grandeur and engineering marvel of the RMS Lusitania, the largest Cunard passenger liner at the time of her launch in 1906. The image offers a unique perspective into the ship's intricate design and sophisticated interior, revealing a harmonious blend of luxury and functionality. The Lusitania, measuring 780 feet in length and boasting a tonnage of 31,914 gross register tons, was a testament to the advancements in steamship technology during the early 20th century. With a top speed of 22 knots, she could transport over 2,000 passengers in unparalleled comfort across the Atlantic Ocean. This cross-section reveals the ship's impressive layout, featuring multiple decks adorned with elegant cabins, spacious public areas, and essential facilities such as the engine room, boiler rooms, and watertight compartments. The first-class passengers enjoyed palatial accommodations, including private lounges, grand dining rooms, and luxurious staterooms. The Lusitania's innovative design also prioritized safety, with advanced watertight compartments that were designed to keep the ship afloat even if several were flooded. This feature became crucial during World War I, when the Lusitania was tragically sunk by a German U-boat in 1915, resulting in the loss of over 1,100 lives. This cross-section serves as a poignant reminder of the Lusitania's historical significance and the remarkable advancements in maritime transportation during the early 1900s.
