In May 1915, the S.S. Lusitania left New York headed for London with 2,000 passengers. A German U boat – that’s undersea boat – put one torpedo into the side of the fastest ship in the North Atlantic.
The Lusitania sank in 18 minutes, with a loss of 1,200 people. One hundred twenty-eight were American citizens. The ship sank between England and Ireland near County Cork, Ireland.
The British quickly accused the “Pirate Hun“ (Kaiser Wilhelm II) of the slaughter of innocent civilians, claiming that the Lusitania was solely a passenger vessel.
