Marine Oil Painting Of White Star Line Lusitania
Collectors Rare Oil On Canvas Painting Of The White Star Line Lusitania ,
RMS Lusitania was a British ocean liner and briefly the world's largest passenger ship. The ship was sunk on 7 May 1915 by a German U-boat 11 mi (18 km) off the southern coast of Ireland. The sinking presaged the United States declaration of war on Germany (1917).
-
The ship was technically unarmed and was carrying thousands of civilian passengers, and so the British government accused the Germans of breaching the Cruiser Rules. The sinking caused a storm of protest in the United States because 128 American citizens were among the dead. The sinking helped shift public opinion in the United States against Germany and was one of the factors in the United States' declaration of war nearly two years later. After the First World War, successive British governments maintained that there were no munitions on board Lusitania, and the Germans were not justified in treating the ship as a naval vessel.
-
Lusitania was a holder of the Blue Riband appellation for the fastest Atlantic crossing, and was briefly the world's largest passenger ship until the completion of her sister ship Mauretania, three months later. The Cunard Line launched Lusitania in 1906, at a time of fierce competition for the North Atlantic trade. She sank on her 202nd trans-Atlantic crossing.
-
Both Lusitania and Mauretania were fitted with revolutionary new turbine engines that enabled them to maintain a service speed of 25 knots (46 km/h 29 mph). They were equipped with lifts, wireless telegraph and electric light, and provided 50% more passenger space than any other ship the first class decks were noted for their sumptuous furnishings.
-
Lusitania's sister ship was Mauretania, and they had a “half sister” or “cousin” named Aquitania. Mauretania and Aquitania both had long, successful, and illustrious careers, with Aquitania serving in both world wars.
The famous liner Titanic's sisters were Olympic and Britannic, with only Olympic having survived into old age.
-
The Titanic was lost at sea on its maiden voyage to New York in 1912 with the loss of 1500 soles on board after striking an iceberg.
