    Ocean depth and Ship Length are accurate. i know it looks deeper. but it isnt.
    YES, The RMS Lusitania DID NOT hit the ocean bottom while it was sinking.
    RMS Lusitania was a British ocean liner that was sunk on 7 May 1915 by a German U-boat 11 miles (18 km) off the southern coast of Ireland, killing 1,198 passengers and crew. The sinking occurred about two years before the United States declaration of war on Germany. Although the Lusitania sinking was a major factor in building support for a war, war was eventually declared only after the Imperial German Government resumed the use of unrestricted submarine warfare against American shipping in an attempt to break the transatlantic supply chain from the US to Britain, as well as after the Zimmermann Telegram. Lusitania held the Blue Riband appellation for the fastest Atlantic crossing and was briefly the world's largest passenger ship until the completion of the Mauretania three months later. The Cunard Line launched her in 1906 at a time of fierce competition for the North Atlantic trade. She was sunk on her 202nd trans-Atlantic crossing.
    German shipping lines were aggressive competitors for the custom of transatlantic passengers in the early 20th century, and Cunard responded by trying to outdo them in speed, capacity, and luxury. Cunard used assistance from the British Admiralty to build Lusitania, on the understanding that the ship would be available as a light merchant cruiser in time of war. She had gun mounts for deck cannons, but no guns were ever installed. Both Lusitania and Mauretania were fitted with turbine engines that enabled them to maintain a service speed of 25 knots (46 km/h; 29 mph). They were equipped with lifts, wireless telegraph, and electric light, and provided 50 percent more passenger space than any other ship; the first-class decks were known for their sumptuous furnishings.
    The Royal Navy had blockaded Germany at the start of the First World War; the UK had declared the North Sea a war zone in the autumn of 1914 and mined the approaches. In the spring of 1915, all food imports for Germany were declared contraband. RMS Lusitania left New York for Britain on 1 May 1915 when German submarine warfare was intensifying in the Atlantic. Germany had declared the seas around the United Kingdom a war zone, and the German embassy in the United States had placed fifty newspaper advertisements warning people of the dangers of sailing on Lusitania. Objections were made by the British that threatening to torpedo all ships indiscriminately was wrong, whether it was announced in advance or not.

    The RMS Lusitania DID NOT hit the ocean bottom while it was sinking. The ship sank relatively quickly, within 18 minutes after being torpedoed by the German submarine U-20 on May 7, 1915. During this rapid descent, the Lusitania remained intact and did not break apart, which indicates it did not strike the ocean floor in the shallow waters near the Irish coast where it was torpedoed.
    The Lusitania eventually came to rest on the seabed at a depth of about 305 feet (93 meters). It is in this position that the wreck remains to this day, having settled upright on the ocean floor. The depth of the water in the area where the Lusitania sank was sufficient to allow the ship to descend without striking the bottom during the actual sinking process.

      Actually LUSITANIA and her final plunge into the Celtic Sea is still a debating subject as to why she had to sink so fast, but at the moment when the ship landed on the Irish Sea floor the central hull of LUSITANIA broke open where the First Class Lounge and Dining Saloon was located. Sadly we can not or never see the inside of the LUSITANIA First, Second and Third Class accommodations as the entire Cunard Liner has collapsed over 100 years of damages by the sea bacteria and mankind’s destruction on the ship. LUSITANIA Is Forever!

      There’s debate whether she hit the seabed while her stern was still top side or if she glided, if you will, like in the video (which seems more plausible), especially since her bow is surprising not completely mangled. Either way the impact with the seabed snapped her keel almost cleanly in two. Also it’s unclear if any of her funnels dismounted during the sinking or if it was when she hit bottom.

      Nope thats just Brittanic. Unlike the Olympic class, the Lusitania and her sister had longitudinal bulkheads on top of the normal bulkheads. These split the starboard and port side down the middle, for the length of the ship.
      This allowed the starboard side to flooded faster and cleaner. The port side stayed more bouyant throughout the whole sinking. Allowing Lusi to more glide beneath than drop like we usually think of final plunges (thanks 97Titanic).
      The bouyant force in the port side fought against the flooded SB side and created something very similar to what CC gave us in this video.

    • @sams.761
      @sams.761 2 місяці тому +5

      Yes, but not in any sufficient capacity. Almost immediately after the torpedo strike there was a second explosion, at first theorized to be the munitions she carried or a second torpedo, then the theory of coal dust igniting. But according to Captain Turner’s testimony, steam pressure to the engines had dropped from about 190 psi to 50 psi, which has lead me to consider the theory that it was steam pipes rupturing. Anyway, Lusitania coasted 2 miles before she sank, but that was because even with pressure lost she was still 33k tons of steel being driven forward from the momentum alone. There is even speculation that this is what caused her to sink so quickly; the momentum was literally driving her under the water.

      No, the RMS Lusitania did not strike the bottom while sinking. The Lusitania sank relatively quickly after being torpedoed by a German U-boat on May 7, 1915, but it did not strike the bottom during the process of sinking.
      The ship was torpedoed off the southern coast of Ireland and sank in about 18 minutes. The wreck eventually settled on the seabed at a depth of approximately 300 feet (91 meters). The rapid sinking and the depth of the water in the area meant that the ship did not strike the bottom until it had fully sunk.

    • @Bruno-G
      @Bruno-G 2 місяці тому

      No, the wreck looks awful because It had been used as target practice for depth charges until late 1920s. Some people say It was because the british government couldn't take the risks of the ship's cargo being stolen, some say they did this to prevent enemy submarines to "hide" on the wreck as a sonar shield. There are many stories about why exactly they destroyed the wreck but it's still a mystery.
