Was reading up about the Lusitania. Was surprised to find that it's ‘only’ at 93m. (off the coast of Ireland). But given that it was torpedoed, it took about fifteen minutes to sink. Very few people were saved. There were a lot of civilians on board that ship. But the Germans always claimed that it was carrying munitions.
Bad mistake by them. Started to draw the U.S.A. into the war, a war that they really wanted nothing to do with (and could have stayed out of).
The wreck actually privately belongs to someone who bought a controlling stake in the company that owns it.
A story that's as remarkable in its own way as the Titanic. Surprised that no famous film has been made about it. Its sinking made headlines around the world. Funnily enough, because it's at such a shallow depth, it's in much worse nick than the Titanic.
