RMS Lusitania, Old Head of Kinsale, 15th September, 2021 

I can actually believe that! Remember in history, RMS LUSITANIA was listing on her starboard side after the two explosions caused serious damage in her forward hull and when the sea surface was reaching up towards the Boat Deck, only 6 lifeboats were successfully launched, some lifeboats got damaged from falling down into the sea and few lifeboats got capsized while they floated away from the mother ship LUSITANIA. It was very hard for the crew to launch away all 48 lifeboats from the sinking of LUSITANIA, but I seriously wish all of the 48 lifeboats were successfully launched without 18 minutes of sinking.

Most of them went down with her iirc

Damn, you know about the Lusitania lot

I know a lot about the titanic for myself

I hope no one forgets me...

Basically yeah. Even her bow, which was recognizable when they found her, had collapsed

Sadly none are in condition to be raised especially Lusitania they have it the worst

@@randompolishguy6476the most probable ocean liner raise would be Britannic considering how intact she is as well as how shallow she sank. Apart from her bow getting broken when she hit the bottom, and her funnels getting torn off, she’s in one piece. But she now serves a new purpose as an artificial reef, now harboring way more life than she ever did above the water. But I do agree in letting the ships be. They are war graves and serve new purposes now as reefs. It’d be probably cheaper to just rebuild them too.

Nothing would be left to see inside the Lusitania….nothing. All the beauty in carved wood and decorative plaster and all interior finery would’ve been eaten up by plank tin with in the first decade of having been under water. Also, the steel and iron posts and beams are completely untrustworthy. It all appears that it is all fattening out to nothing in time. Dishes, cutlery, and bronze elements are all within reach. It was indeed an exquisite ship…yacht-like even… You might enjoy the the Canadian Liner set of ships builded in the 1920’s and interior design by White*Alom. The New Britain and the New Ireland.

Trust me is still talked about to and it's history, well dose in my home town of Ireland 🇮🇪 Cóbh Co. Cork

In 1915, no-one thought Germany (or any nation) would deliberately sink an ocean liner. Particularly not one still painted in civilian colours (troopships were painted in camouflage paint).

@@timonsolus And as it turns out, she was full of ammunition. America and Britain have always had a love of engineering their own tragedies.

@@allewis4008 I’m pretty sure the german military had no idea that Lusitania had any weaponry or ammunition on board, even if they did it was still a deliberate act of terrorism on civilian lives because the ocean liner was technically not operating as a warship at the time. If the german military did know that Lusitania was shipping military supplies I can see why they would want to take down the ship but i can’t help but think whoever made the final decision to fire the missiles was not the smartest tool in the shed, because they should’ve known how the public and military in America/Britain would take it

@@rangefinderz5135 oh ok thanks for that information :)

I´m not sure if theres something like an "inside" left.

@@kidneybone1534 I have no clue what your remark meant that is why you got my reply . I wanted to give you a WTF in return 🤨

@@madmanmechanic8847 the ship has completely collapsed is what he meant

Both RMS TITANIC and RMS LUSITANIA share a place together in the same ocean where they both sunk but at different locations! Don't forget both ships and their passengers and crew from 1,500 and 1,200 lost souls have all suffered the same fate. R.I.P. 🚢TITANIC🚢LUSITANIA

It is very emotional. We didn't recover anything from the wreck as our licence didn't permit. I'm not sure how much as been retrieved and preserved to date.

Far too many.

A lot has been retrieved. A whistle, in particular

@@ohlawdy6855 How? i thought it was a "protected site" was the bell ever retrieved? and if so, where is it located? uk or usa? just taken a piece of the hull even "hand size" would sell A LOT

@@xMandalorex She sank within sight of the Irish coastline. An Irish family out for a picnic actually witnesssed her get torpedoed and sink.

This may surprise you, but 3 of the 4 propellers have been raised as well.

I would, even though "it's a protected site" as they say.. fuck that The bell was recovered (i've seen it) somewhere in manchester now (was in liverpool)

@@xMandalorex bro you sound like an absolute idiot "why should i respect the gravesite of 1,100 people! i want a porthole!

@@therealtony2009 LOL did i say "respect the gravesite?" LOL I'm totally with you man, i want a port hole or some of the hull lol

@@xMandalorex its a gravesite and taking something from it is like taking a casket you think looks nice from a graveyard

@@therealtony2009 maritime law though it's "protected" as they say, but isn't protected on the same levels as the titanic.

You don't need to take anyone's permission to dive.

Everything got already looted by British people. Now there is nothing to loot

@@kirandhakne1768 Ok, thank you very much for the information. But does the Irish navy keep an eye on anyone around the wreck? I read somewhere that they do.

@@kirandhakne1768 Ok, thank you very much again. Please ignore my last post. I posted it before I saw your second post. Thank you, again.

@@michaelbedinger4121 yes. Where r u from?

bruh I don't think theres anything left in there to raise other than a few rusted metal sheets, couple of porthole windows and some furniture pieces. The ship is completely gone bro.

The bow size has a 80 foot hole (due to the torpedo) but in general the entire ship isn't that bad (should be raised imo) and put in a museum

@@xMandalorex The ship has almost totally collapsed

Lusitania is almost completely collapsed so they were outside the ship. The interiors are mostly scattered on the seabed where the superstructure fell apart.

They were outside. The hull has completely collapsed so there’s not really any interior left to enter.

They weren’t enemy ships. They were sister ships built at the same yard in Belfast.

@@paytondh99 No they weren’t. Titanic was built at Harland and Wolff in Belfast, Lusitania was built by John Brown in Clydebank.

@@paytondh99 They were part of different shipping lines too, both of those (White Star) and (Cunard) being rivals

@@aricelacuneo7513 and yet Carpathia, a Cunard liner, attempted to come to Titanic's rescue.

@@BellyLover06 It is ironic, but its still a ship, and there were lives on the line

I spoke to a British navy diver once who dived the lusitania who said there were detonators scattered on the sea floor Lusitania sank in 18 minutes after being torpedoed

Not only rifle cartridges aby shells, detonators, aluminum powder and Canadian troops. Churchill and Fisher were actually quite pleased with the disaster, as they wanted President Wilson to declare war on Germany. Had the USA stayed out, WW2 would never had happened.

They retrieved .303 british rifle ammo a couple years ago, look it up, just crates and crates of it everywhere.

The ship was actually an armed RNR cruiser, Its officers were RNR officers. It was (eefectively) a warship flying a civilian flag.

No chance she's in too badly damaged to be raised in my opinion she's in worse shape than the Titanic the strong currents and her laying on her side don't help

Are you crazy. The ship has been destroyed.
