Summary In 1915, the Lusitania was the fastest, biggest and most glamorous ocean liner on the Atlantic. It was the Cunard flag-ship, plying the Atlantic between New York and Liverpool. On the morning of May 17, the Lusitania was attacked by a German U-boat. Just 18 minutes later the ship had sunk. Of the 1900 passengers and crew on board, 1200 perished. It was an unprovoked attack on innocent civilians and changed the rules of war forever. Bitter controversy surrounded the sinking. Was the ship as innocent as she seemed? Had the British government secretly used a passenger ship to carry explosives? Worse still, had Winston Churchill deliberately sacrificed the Lusitania to bring America into the war? In this stunning dramatised documentary the true story of what really happened is told.
