Andrew Lound will examine the conspiracies relating to the fate of the R.M.S. Lusitania.
This Cunard ‘passenger’ liner was sunk by a German U-boat on 7 May 1915; an event that shocked the world and outraged neutral opinion. At the time, few people realised that ‘Lucy’ had been built to RN specifications and was used by the British government to transport war materials as well as civilians. It has even been suggested the liner was deliberately exposed to danger, in order to shock the U.S.A. into abandoning its policy of neutrality and join the Great War against Germany and its Allies.
If the sinking of ‘Lucy’ was murder, who was the murderer?
