The lifeboats of RMS Lusitania, 7 May 1915, (1926). On 7 May 1915, a German submarine torpedoed and sank the Lusitania off the south-west coast of Ireland near Kinsale. Although an unarmed passenger ship, she was carrying munitions. 1198 people lost their lives, of whom 128 were US citizens. The sinking was a main cause of America's entry into World War I.
