1200 Lives Loss Sunk Torpedoed 15th Liner
EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the opulence and grandeur of The Smoking-Room onboard the RMS Lusitania, a British ocean liner that met its tragic end on May 7, 1915. The room, adorned with rich red velvet walls, ornate gold moldings, and intricate woodwork, was a favorite gathering place for first-class passengers. The room's name speaks to the tradition of smoking allowed in this area, a luxury afforded to those with the means to travel in style. But the peace and elegance of this scene were shattered on that fateful day in May, when a German U-boat, U-20, torpedoed and sunk the Lusitania off the coast of Ireland. The attack resulted in the loss of 1,200 lives, making it one of the most infamous maritime disasters in history. The Smoking-Room, once a symbol of luxury and comfort, was now a haunting reminder of the senseless violence and loss of life that occurred on the Lusitania. This photograph, taken prior to the disaster, offers a glimpse into a bygone era of travel and opulence. It serves as a poignant reminder of the history and stories that lie behind the walls of this once grand room. The room, now a relic of the past, stands as a testament to the past glories and tragic end of the RMS Lusitania." This photograph is a historical record and is not intended for commercial use.
