    R.M.S. Lusitania
    The RMS Lusitania was a British ocean liner of the early twentieth century, owned and operated by the Cunard Company. Her keel was laid on 16 June 1904 and she was launched on 7 June 1906. Lusitania began her maiden voyage out of Liverpool, England on 7 September 1907 and arrived in New York, United States, on 13 September. At the time of her launch, Lusitania was the largest, fastest, and most luxurious ship in the world, although she was soon eclipsed in size and speed by her sister Mauretania and in size and luxury by rivals Olympic and Titanic. Lusitania would make 101 round-trip voyages (or 202 crossings) during her 7-year-and-9-month career. Lusitania became a casualty of World War I (1914 - 1918). On 7 May 1915, the ship was torpedoed off the coast of Ireland by the German submarine (or u-boat) U-20, sinking in 18 minutes.  Of the known 1,960 people on board, 767 survived and 1,193 perished in the disaster. Four of those survivors died in the following months, bringing the numbers to 763 survivors and 1,197 victims. The wreck of the Lusitania lies at 51°25′N 8°33′W, about 300 feet (91 meters) underwater and approximately 11 miles (18 km) south of the Old Head of Kinsale, Ireland.
