Sunday 31st Aug seen the last dive of this years expedition to Lusitania by Project 17.
We had been on site for a total of 15 days and carried out a total of 7 dives, with bottom times between 30 and 65 mins, resulting in run times of between 3 and 5 hours.
This was our fourth year that Project 17 have been on-site and it was the first time where we turned up and went diving the next day.
It was also the first time where we had to prepare risk assessments and method statements for the dive team to follow when they were not in the water, due to the potential risk of Covid.
For three days, we had the best diving conditions that we had experienced to date, with the visibility in the shallows at around 25m, with at least 15m on the wreck. With these conditions, it allowed team members, using DPV’s to travel stern to bow and back, all of which has been recorded.
It was around February that news began to filter through where some key team members advised that due to Covid and it's impact, that they would be unable to make it. Between that date and July we received news that although it was not definite, there was a possibility that we could lose up 9 Team members, 4 of which were Core Members from Day 1.
This news was devastating to hear, however, the possible loss of such valuable team members made us all more determined than ever that the Expedition would continue and we would achieve our objective.
It was the general consensus amongst us that when a project is halted and the momentum grinds to a halt, like a train pulling out of a station, it takes time to get up to speed.
This years work where we concentrated on the stern, seen photogrammetry and data collection relating to a full ecological survey carried out by Dr Clare Fitzsimmons and data collection which will be used for the photogrammetry model.
The rest of the team concentrated on data collection using photographs and video to carry out comparisons on imagery supplied by Stuart Williamson and we are hopeful that with the imagery supplied, we can make use of this within the photogrammetry model.
Presently the stern section rises some 18 off the seabed.
One area that has collapsed allows access to the engine room, which shows various levels within.
On behalf of project 17, we would like to thank all the members of the Lusitania Old Head Museum, The Archaeological Unit & all the divers, researchers and those that helped make all that happened possible.
This video is a record of some of the events during our time on site.

So many machinery that can be saved, restored and placed in a museum
There is a museum that is currently raising money for the museum to be built Cobh Ireland
@@jakebillingham8551 several parts of the Lusitania have been raised even some decks
@@masterfarr8265 Yes I'm aware of this
Not much to save at this point; salvage attempts have already destroyed the wreck enough.
Best music ever for a shipwreck, powerful and beautiful
You never watched the movie “The Titanic “?..it’s music from that movie!
Most of it anyway.
Originally this music belongs to King Arthur Movie 😉
Wait how did possiesdon sink
@@marionvlogs2557 poseidon sank after being hit by a huge tidal wave and capsizing
HOW DEEP IS THE RECK
Imagine being able to dive down to the Titanic like that. I know it is not possible due to the pressure at the depth, but this footage is eerie yet so fascinating.
It would not be as impressive then. Titanic is all about the mystery. And if she was in such shallow water then anyone could have seen her over the decades. It was an event when she was found.
Another heartbroken piece of history, I've seen Titanic, and would love to watch a Carpathia documentary....thank you God bless...🙌🙌🙌🙌........🇿🇦
🔥❤️🇿🇦
Much love SA❤❤🔱🔥
My great uncle was a survivor of this awful tragedy. It’s unbelievable to see the ship as it is now.
Wow
Name?
@@when160 Edward Tarry
To be exact he was my grandmas uncle
One of the Divers is from my Home-County , and would have Eaten in Bar i worked with, Pretty cool to see him featured in this...
Oh
All the comments about intrusive music. 🙄 There is no commentary with the video. Simple fix: either mute the sound or turn the volume down. Sheesh! Fascinating video btw. Many thanks.
Yeah we are not big fans of the music but that was the conditions of use being able to publish it, that we couldn’t change the music.
@@TitanicConnections I wish some lousy music was all I had to complain about in my life. Great video.
There are just people who are chronic whiners. They complain about having nothing to complain about!
@@snydedon9636 you and me both, I think the music is nice anyway
@@rebelbelle62 are you complaining about the complainers who are complaining they have nothing to complain about?
Granted it's a grave, but some firm should get the rights to recover and display some artifacts before they're gone and forgotten , Lucy deserves a museum.
one of her propellers is just in a hotel courtyard in texas im not kidding
EDIT JUST LEARNED THEY MELTED DOWN ONE TO MAKE GOLF CLUBS APPARENTLY????
It’s not far from where Kennedy was killed I hear
We need a full picture of the Lusitania 2021
not much to look at. the bridge has collapsed thanks to strong currents
@@masterfarr8265 what about the rooms
@@mesofius Most likely collapsed too, I mean seriously just look at the thing it's in awful shape.
Acutally according to the Wikipedia, the status of the wreck is fully collapsed which means it’s nothing but a pile of rubble ;-;
@@facepalmerchaosalternate127 😐
Sérieusement décomposé ??On ne s·y retrouve pas !!...Quel malheur tout de mm....A+
My great grandfather and great aunt, Joseph and Doris Maud Charles somehow survived this tragedy. Eventually Irish fishermen saved them.
A VERY GREAT VIDEO. GREAT MUSIC. THANK YOU FOR THE DIVE TEAM. WHO MADE THIS EVEN POSSIABLE. SALUTE !!!
There were some paintings that are in lead tubes in the wreck. I hope they can be safely salvaged someday.
damn this reminds of the empress expedition , same music similar approach , RIP John god bless
The Lusitania is beyond recognition.Just a pile of metal or scrap heap unlike the Titanic and The Bismarck you still see the ships structure unlike Lusitania no structure of a ship
What did you expect the British tried to erase the fact that the ship was carrying munitions on it they used explosives on this ship after it was sunk
@@johnsepulveda443 that is not true, if u have no clue about this ship, why comment mate, do ur research, well the facts are " lusitania was in great shape in the 60-70s. we literally have sketch from divers, it broke down in 80-90s beyond recognition due to the structural failure. there was no british bombing, no depth chargers. thank me mate
I can't help but feel they are crawling through a rotting corpse! It's not a ship nor the skeleton of a ship but the rotting body of a ship, with its innards strewn all about. Considering all that is shards of rusting iron and steel, that looks foolishly dangerous!
People have died while diving the HMHS Britannic which is in better condition and you have more visibility every wreck that a diver dives to is dangerous
Lusitania is completely safe for diving expeditions
@@mesofius Well you are definitely misinformed if you think diving a wreck that Is 300ft down is safe and with poor visibility and with lots of twisted metal to get caught on Lusitania is not a safe wreck it takes a lot of planning to dive such a wreck
@@jakebillingham8551 as long as you don't come into contact with the seabed, the visibility around Lusitania is amazing, you can easily go inside with just a regular flashlight at a moment's notice
Coming from a German u boats torpedo attack at that time I'm surprised that whole ship is still intact like it is
Impresionante video,gracias.
Great footage
You now how to pull the heart strings by throwing in the soundtrack My heart will go on.
Terrible Vis, I reckon about 8ft, what was the bottom time?
Hats off to the Divemaster who planned such a deep dive with a huge team safely.
Wish it was narrated with someone explaining what we're looking at instead of having annoying music.... other than that, great video. Thank you.

The only real musical disappointment was hearing That Ridiculously Overused Song for the eleventy zillionth time.
And I dealt with that by muting the audio while it was playing.
Its a disgrace what British navy did to this site . Using as a practice target for depth charges and totally destroying the wreck !
it was not bombed its because of tides and currents the depth charges theory is fake
That was the point behind the depth charges-to flatten the hull to the point where it would be very difficult to get inside the hull. Modern technology now allows explorers to get in anyway.
The British Admiralty wanted to hide the explosive war cargo she was carrying. One torpedo stuck her and then there was a second explosion which blew a hole in her bottom. One Torpedo shouldn't of sunk her that fast or at all. 18 minutes and she was at the bottom.
There is actually no evidence that the British or anyone else depth charged the wreck. There were some salvage attempts that used explosives, like the one that removed the propellers, but that’s it.

Love It🖤
Amazing. Thanks. Hope they make a drain the Lusatania episode
There wouldn't be much to look at, unfortunately. She's in BAD, BAD shape.
Indeed and scientists think the wreck of Titanic will crumble like the wreck of the Lusitania has in 17 to 50 years
legendary music choice 🙌🔥
Time and tide has not been kind to the wreckage, depth charges too if that rumor is correct (misidentified as sub in later war). I know it’s common and probably not worth the risk but it’d be nice to see group of divers try to remove some of the old fishing nets.
Really, the weather mistreated the RMS Lusitânia 😞
I muted the music. It needed narration.
It’s an exploded mess.. happy to see some happy anemone and long armed crab things
Great work and video coming together after much planning well done stay safe cheers ✌
Have they ever tried to sonar the wreck to possibly determine the damage on her starboard side?
Yes they built a 3D model of the wreck there is a book about it called RMS Lusitania Story of a wreck
Sonar??? What kind of sonar if they use sonat sound They may risk That Its side gets Obliterated
@@sauceman2349 They did it on the Titanic when they determine the iceberg damage.
@@CH-gr7tn wait what really? I am learning more from UA-cam than what I learn in school lol
@@sauceman2349 ua-cam.com/video/MTz6UOTeqwA/v-deo.html Watch this now, please. It has some facts that are true and false now. At the time, they didn't have all the pieces and they were still working on some possible theories.
Ja da ist wirklich nichts mehr zu erkennen. Soll man auch in Ruhe lassen. Ist immerhin eine Grabstelle
WHAT IS THE NAME of the song from 16.20 ,, PLEASE :-) LOVE THE VIOLIN IN IT
Crystallize by Lindsey Stirling (Dubstep Violin Original Song)
@@villebooks OHH THNK YOU SO MUCH
Just an FYI, you can mute the totally obnoxious, inappropriately leveled music.
The currents, fishing nets and depth charges really took it’s toll on this beautiful ship.
@Phil Failla everyone is entitled to the opinions. Champ
What depth charges?
@@brianbozo2447 Depth charges were done over her wreck during WWII-I THINK (not swearing to it) because she made for good "target practice" and also so she couldn't be used as a hideout for enemy submarines.
Not to mention the 1982 expedition which used explosives on the superstructure to retrieve artifacts (the stern was also destroyed to get at 3 of the 4 screws).
I don’t mind the music, it somehow fits
That's a lot of apparatus these divers have on their backs. How long are the ale to stay down? Most of what I see is rusty, twisted up, barnacle encrusted scrap metal. To be expected after all those years in the ocean.
Dorime!
I like the video and I think it's actually very good, but I had to mute it after a bit due to the music. While I like both the movie The Last of the Mohicans and the musical piece, I feel it was truly only good for introducing your crew, or the crew, but a tad too much for such a somber thing, as visiting the Lusitania is and should be.
Unfortunately we didn’t have any control of the music.
@@TitanicConnections I'm sorry to hear that.
Then Turn Your Volume Control All The Way Off. And Watch This Amazing Video In Silence. No Rocket Science There. I Myself Enjoyed ALL OF IT. MUSIC AND ALL.
@@TitanicConnections IT'S ALL GREAT (-: THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Uff the Native American music
I've heard this music played on other Lusitania documentaies. It gives the wreck it's own identity, as does the music from the film does to Titanic. Any idea what it is?
The Song is called The Gael

rip 100 children
Is it still possible to spell out the name Lusitania on the side of the ship?
Of course from 1915 the barnicles and rust been building on ever since
@@norms3913 It was Dr. Robert Ballard that was able to do this.
@@dustylover100 very doubtful after amount of time under water steel starts to disintegrates with rust and oxidizing the only way to know where a sunken ship is at is the procise coordinates from where the ship was sailing from and going to
What about the munitions??? Why not show those??
Because it’s difficult and dangerous to get into the holds, possibly impossible now even. If you want to see footage of the munitions they found, you can.
Bob Ballard's book had a picture of one of her screws in a scrapyard. Anyone know if it's still there? Saw a TV program a while ago where an American chap claimed he now owned the wreck.
If I remember correctly the two remaining propellers which weren't turned into golf clubs (pardon my language but I shit you not one of the propellers was actually turned into golf clubs people are barbarians) we're actually turned into some kind of a memorial
Gregg Bemis owned the wreck for a long time. He donated ownership to the Lusitania Museum in Kinsale. He died shortly after.
Ziemlich schwierig da etwas zu identifizieren... bei dem Ausmaß an Zerstörung!
It has always been my understanding that (like the ANDREA DORIA and EMPRESS OF IRELAND), that dives to the LUSITANIA are extremely hazardous (due, I believe, to the swift currents), and that only divers who are the most experienced are permitted to dive on her. Is that true?
Tou feliz por vocês
Gostarem do titanic
Seguinifica .que não

Tambem gostam do

Lusitania yes
Lusitania Footage
Could’ve seriously done with all the music guys
Was any evidence of munitions ever found ?
Yeah in the cargo hold, where it was intact (and did not cause second explosion).
Yes, but they only found packed small arms (mostly .303 from what I can tell). This is in line with the cargo manifests iirc
@@sirboomsalot4902 There's no "but" then, they found most of what was listed in the manifest and then thats that.
Interesting fact: the lusitania was mistaken for a enemy u boat in ww2 and was depthcharged
That happened with quite a few wrecks. Iirc during the Cold War an American destroyer accidentally put death charges on what they thought was a Soviet sub. Turned out they actually most likely obliterated the remains of the USS Tang, a very successful American submarine sunk during WW2
I think the Monitor also got "attacked" in WW2
@@markdavis2475 there's no report on that
@@markdavis2475 they found the moniter some of it was sunken deep down in mud and it some it was retrieved and put in mariners museum in Newport news
@@norms3913 read it many years ago in a 1970's magazine called Omni. The hull was upside down, most of it had collapsed in. Apparently some of the damage was caused by wartime depth charges. They recovered the screw first then later the entire turret. But as then was under the hull I'm guessing that most of the hull is now destroyed. But it would have fallen apart due to its age anyway.
Had to mute it.
why is the wreck al collaspes? even titanic is more intacty
Very strong currents in that area.
Titanic landed AMAZINGLY upright, as did her stern, that really is miraculous. By doing so, all the stresses are under the design of the ship, she was designed to carry her weight...in an upright position. The Lusitania unfortunately landed on her side. Thusly, the loads were in an awkward situation and over time she collapsed down upon herself.
@@johnfranklin5277 britannic is on ehr side too
@@randomrazr she's been heavily damaged by humans removing parts of her to see deeper into the wreck. Also there is very strong currents that have been damaging her. But that person is slightly incorrect, because titanic is being eaten away by large metal-eating rusticles and will be gone within 30 years.
@@blechstettenellx_ ive read the lustania was torpedoed several times
Quel dommage de voir se grand paquebot comme ça
How deep were these dives
The depth of the Lusitania is 300ft
Beautiful Pictures & film of the ole girl but why can't bring any of the items up I don't understand
12:16 man holding handrail
wish they Pointed Out parts of the Ship it all looks A green mess!!So Sad what Happened to the Titanic Sister ship
How come she's in such bad condition,?
The British blew up the wreck either because she was a menace to navigation, or to conceal evidence of munitions.
@@stephenduffy5406 Depth charges have never been proven.
@@stephenduffy5406 Also you are quite off. Because Lusitania sits too far beneath the surface to be a traffic hazard to other ships, its not like the USS Arizona or Utah, or even the SS America for crying out loud.
The bad condition is mainly due to it being in shallow water where a lot of different organisms thrive that eat away at it. Unlike the titanic which is in very deep water where much fewer of these organisms can survive and eat away at it
Young punk kids hanging out there; drinking and vandalizing the ship.
А винт, корма, носовая часть? Все в хаотической беспорядочности, остова нет, все сползло на дно
Oh so we can comment on this but not your other vids? FAIL
Are you having issues commenting on other videos?
I was expecting some cartoon fish to show up with this music. Wrong music for this.............At lease it's not the Batman theme.
Good video. Cut the cheesy dance music.
Well not much to recognise her unlike the Titanic
Even titanic's stern look better
Sorry but I started to watch your video but found the music far too irritating to continue. Sorry and I know it's not much point watching with the sound turned off. I accept it's not possible to please everyone.
Unfortunately we had no control over the music this was given to us from a third party that allowed us to put up the video the music was done by the owner
I have to agree, a really fascinating video destroyed by the worst choice of music. Clueless choice.
@@allinmyhead Again unfortunately we had no control over the music choice that was placed in the video
i want to see the ship not the poeple
Смотреть не начто груда хлама
Корпус разнесло при падении на дно сильнее чем Титаник, или это уже разрушения от длительной коррозии. А вообще, жуткое зрелище, но таинственное. На сколько сложный процесс изготовления всех механизмов, для того времени,... сколько чьего-то труда.... Дайверы коснулись руками истории...
Gave up due to the dreadful music.
loose the music, sucks. try a little narrating .
OFFENSIVELY LOUD Crappy music!
amateur editing...........
NO explanation of objects or area you are viewing.. I turned the crappy music off since NO ONE was talking.
regret having wasted my time watching this..... THUMBS DOWN !
