This podcast tells the story of the RMS Lusitania's fateful final voyage and sinking in 1915 during World War I. It explores the ship's construction as the largest and most luxurious passenger liner of its time as well as its secret purpose to potentially serve as an armed merchant cruiser. Details of the ship's opulent interiors and record transatlantic crossings are highlighted before examining the context of turn-of-the-century maritime warfare that led to its encounter with a German U-boat and subsequent sinking, resulting in almost 1200 deaths. The narrative covers the mysteries and controversies surrounding the sinking, including whether munitions were secretly carried onboard and if British authorities deliberately endangered the ship to draw the United States into the war. It concludes by reflecting on the tragedy's role in swaying American public opinion and eventual entry into World War I. This dramatized retelling aims to honor the lives lost and share lessons learned from a pivotal moment in history.
