From her record-breaking speed and lavish design to the fateful 1915 voyage through German-declared danger zones, we follow Captain William Turner and his passengers as the disaster unfolds minute by minute. You’ll see how the torpedo hit, why lifeboats failed, and how the tragedy shifted world opinion toward war.

We’ll also explore the wreck, theories about the second explosion, and how the Lusitania’s rapid loss in broad daylight made it, in many ways, even more shocking than the Titanic.
