81World War 1: The Sinking of Lusitania
May 7, 1915, approx 1.40pm. The early morning fog had slowed down the progress of Lusitania, and Captain Turner needed a more accurate fix on his position. He ordered the ship slowed down and put on a straight course off the Irish coast. In doing so he sealed the fate of his ship and the lives aboard her.
