EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Lusitania Medal - Commemorating a Tragic Maritime Event in World War I This evocative medal, struck in Germany, serves as a poignant reminder of the sinking of the Lusitania, a British ocean liner that met its fate in the waters of the North Atlantic during World War I. The inscription on the medal reads, "Business above all on Cunard Line. The great liner Lusitania sunk by a German submarine." The Lusitania, a proud symbol of the Cunard Line's maritime prowess, was a luxury passenger ship that measured over 700 feet in length and could carry up to 1,950 passengers. On May 7, 1915, the ship departed from New York City, bound for Liverpool, England, with a cargo hold filled with munitions and a passenger list that included 1,201 Americans. Tragically, on May 7, 1915, the Lusitania was torpedoed by a German U-boat, U-20, off the coast of Ireland. The sinking resulted in the loss of over 1,100 lives, including 128 American citizens. The event sparked outrage in the United States, further fueling the country's entry into the war against Germany. The creation of this medal in Germany, with its provocative inscription, underscores the complexities and tensions of the time. The medal's existence serves as a testament to the historical significance of the Lusitania's sinking and its impact on the world stage. This medal, a fascinating artifact from a pivotal moment in history, invites us to reflect on the human cost of conflict and the enduring power of commemoration.
