Lusitania: A Greyhound's Downfall

On 7 May 1915, one of the most legendary liners of the North Atlantic met a terrible end via a German submarine, taking 1,200 passengers and crew to an untimely demise. The ship’s memory quickly became mired in a firestorm of international politics, accusations over blame overshadowing both the human tragedy and pre-tragedy triumph of this beautiful ship, filled with technical wonders and firsts. This volume, the second in a two-volume set, tells Lusitania's story through the Great War, to her violent sinking and the repercussions in her wake. Sumptuously illustrated, this book also showcases the beautiful artwork and recreations from HFX Studios’ forthcoming Lusitania: The Greyhound’s Wake museum experience.
