    It was a national tragedy that all those American and British civilians (tourists and travellers) who were travelling to the US on that grand Lusitania ship were killed when the Germans torpedoed the grand ship from underneath the Celtic Sea and off the coast of Ireland, on Friday 7th May 1915.

    She wasn't a warship, but a passenger liner like RMS Titanic and her sister ship HMHS Britannic.

    It happened just 3 years after SOS alert calls were received regarding the White Star Line RMS Titanic (beautifully built by the Irish) was in serious distress, and she mysteriously and tragically sunk on her maiden voyage in April 1912.

    The beautiful Lusitania (I think she was built by the Irish too) met a similar tragic fate to Titanic's sister passenger liner ship - White Star Line HMHS Britannic - which sank after an explosion in the Aegean Sea in 1916.

    R.I.P.

    Very nice!

    I used to take great interest in the first ironclad and steel battleships around the late 19th century, and Britain was of course leading the way in naval technology, well ahead of the US after it's Civil War.

    Titanic was an Ocean Liner (like the Queen Mary and Queen Mary 2 and the Lusitania,) not a cruiseliner. The role of Titanic, the Lusitania, Queen Mary (now a retired tourist attraction in the US,) was to transport people across the Atlantic Ocean between Great Britain and the US.

    The Queen Mary 2 is currently the world's largest passenger liner, which shouldn't be confused with a cruiseliner.

    HMS Victory

    Experience life on board the world's most famous warship;- HMS Victory!

    https://www.hms-victory.com

    HMS Victory is best known for her role in the Battle of Trafalgar,
    Victory currently has a dual role as the Flagship of the First Sea Lord
    and as a living museum to the Georgian Navy.

    On 7th May 1765 HMS Victory was floated out of the Old Single Dock in Chatham's Royal Dockyard.

    In the years to come, over an unusually long service, she would gain renown leading fleets
    in the American War of Independence, the French Revolutionary War and the Napoleonic War.

    She transferred to The National Museum of the Royal Navy in 2012.

    The Battle of Trafalgar, as seen from the starboard mizzen shrouds of the Victory. J. M. W. Turner (oil on canvas, 1806–1808)
