Sinking of the RMS Lusitania

- 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.
On the afternoon of 7 May, a German U-boat torpedoed Lusitania 11 miles (18 km) off the southern coast of Ireland inside the declared war zone. A second internal explosion sank her in 18 minutes, killing 1,198 passengers and crew. The German government justified treating Lusitania as a naval vessel because she was carrying 173 tons of war munitions and ammunition, making her a legitimate military target, and they argued that British merchant ships had violated the cruiser rules from the very beginning of the war. The internationally recognized cruiser rules were obsolete by 1915; it had become more dangerous for submarines to surface and give warning with the introduction of Q-ships in 1915 by the Royal Navy, which were armed with concealed deck guns. The Germans argued that Lusitania was regularly transporting "war munitions"; she operated under the control of the Admiralty; she could be converted into an armed auxiliary cruiser to join the war; her identity had been disguised; and she flew no flags. They claimed that she was a non-neutral vessel in a declared war zone, with orders to evade capture and ram challenging submarines.
However, the ship was not armed for battle and was carrying thousands of civilian passengers, and the British government accused the Germans of breaching the cruiser rules. The sinking caused a storm of protest in the United States because 128 American citizens were among the dead. The sinking shifted public opinion in the United States against Germany and was one of the factors in the declaration of war nearly two years later. After the First World War, successive British governments maintained that there were no munitions on board Lusitania, and the Germans were not justified in treating the ship as a naval vessel. In 1982, the head of the Foreign Office's American department finally admitted that, although no weapons were shipped, there is a large amount of ammunition in the wreck, some of which is highly dangerous and poses a safety risk to salvage teams.

RIP
To the 1,195 passengers and crew who were killed in the sinking of the RMS Lusitania
What is really crazy to me is that had the ship went straight down, the bow would have it bottom and left approximately 500 ft of the Lucitainia above water. Its in 300 ft of water and the ship was over 800 ft long.
*hit
787 ft long but its how she sank sideway. Most likely because of her longitudinal bulkheads that split the ship down the middle. She sank in such a way her funnels and mast still stuck out as the ship was already under the water. Once the funnels dipped below the ingress of water into them created a hige suction that sucked nearby causalites in the water down with her
@@tinypoolmodelshipyard yes well i said HAD she gone straight down
Lusitania not lucitania
It’s so realistic and the sinking is so good I really love it!😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
The graphics are amazing it looks like you right there
Wow that looks stunning
This is so real! 🤩
Very good!!!
Great job!!!!
A bit strange is to me, that in the hell of a world war people at HQ of a shipping line send a passenger liner with hundreds of innocent passengers across the ocean, infested with enemy submarines! Hell of war is no time to make journeys!!
Probably hoping they could use humans to keep Germany from shooting it down…..
Excellent video
I LOVE IT!!!
Good work
Fantastic!😁
Wow, very cool, but how do you make ship models so quickly?
Thanks, read discriptions, i dont make them. Only Titanic is made by me
@@caljucotcas I like your videos
Giod job as always
Amazing
Much faster than titanic and britannic!
Yea. I will never forgot that tyrannic sank faster than her.
@@anikseferi4326 tyrannic wasn’t a real ship?
Obviously. It was full of military stuff of all kind. Passengers didn't have a clue.
@@anikseferi4326 she sank kn 0.01 second because she is fictional 100 % ship
18 minutes.
amazing, hey, would you do a video about the rms olympic in 2021 if it wasn't scrapped instead she will be still in service being part of cunard traveling between modern cruise ships with the nomadic being her tugboat and you can made her and the oasis of the seas salute each other with their horns and whistles, this just an idea for you're next animation. :)
sorry if i didn't explain myself very well, my english isn't that good.
I think i could 😊
@@caljucotcas that would be really cool to see :)
Then lets make it happen right? 😊
@@caljucotcas of course!
*your
Inaccurate, the last thing to go down were her funnels and masts, not the stern itself. as water lapped over the bridge she rapidly began to right her angle of tilt (keeping the starboard list, angle of tilt as in leaning of the bow) and became nearly flat
No finals were not I’dk but I know for sure the mast was up in this animation
Right. And the stern was much higher
Idea: If the olympic class still in service?
Great job!
You should check some of my ships at the 3D warehouse!
0:55 R.M.S. LUSITANIA
🚢💥🪦💐🌅
18 Terrifying Minutes of Sinking!
Where is the second explosion of that snuggled ordnance?
TORPEDO CLOSING ON THE STARBOARD BOW! HARD TO STARBOARD!
Can you tell me how you make this animations? Cuz i rlly wanna know how to make one of this
I have one tutorial on my channel 😊
@@caljucotcas can you link it?
Almost sinking like Britannic.
But make it tip over a bit later.
And make the max angle a 15 degree.
Once again, not perfect. It was a foggy day similar to when the Fitzgerald went down, there was a second explosion followed by the torpedo strike (either from the coal bunkers or possible secret ammunition which the ship may have been carrying; I'm inclined to believe the former), and Lusitania herself wasn't actually in that color scheme when she went down as so many of us believe. Rather, her funnels and hull were still completely black, but her superstructure was also painted gray. No gold stripe whatsoever. Otherwise, another very haunting and very vivid animation of what had happened all those years ago. God rest those 1,198 people. Somehow I hadn't subbed to you after the Fitzgerald animation, so I just did now. A job well done once again. :)
Also I absolutely love these models. Where do you get them?
Thanks, i get my models from different people, every model owner is on video discriptions.
which tone of gray were painted the superstructure? honestly this is new for me
@@uboot556 Battleship gray. If you look up pictures of Olympic during her HMT color scheme from 1915-1916, you'll see what I'm talking about. For example: www.linerdesigns.com/shop/all/prints/olympic-1916.
Hope this helps. :)
Most people believe the second explosion was a thermal explosion from the boiler rooms because the torpedo hit behind the bridge the ammunition was in the front of the bow not near the boiler rooms or bridge
Make a sinking of the sewol ferry please
I HAVE BIN RESERCHING THE LUSITANIA AND THIS IS IS A GRATE THING TO LOOK AT WEN YOU CAN.
You can’t spell
Hehe
Maybe shes not from english speaking country? ( like me )
@@caljucotcas yeah
Wow. what software do you use to do this?
Sketchup and Lumion 10 Pro
@@caljucotcas You had to buy it?
I kinda wanna see lusi in personal
But she sank
Raj chaleb Pangan It’s called diving Dyngus
Yeah, me too.
Gotta get some scuba geaf
good but angle too steep
Is this a game?
No😢
my guy torpedo became a flashbang 💀
This is real but the German submarine hit two torpedoes and it was sank so fast .
Those black funnels look bad ass
I like the way they painted them black before LUSITANIA went down.
I has question-
But seriously tho how is this better than the BBC film
Really? :O
@@caljucotcas Really! This video is one of my favourite videos on youtube!
@@cameronbradley3679 thanks 🥰🥰
If only they weren't smuggling munitions on civilian ships, this one, too, could have been easily avoided. (For those who don't know, Lusitania was smuggling munitions from the US. This was revealed when dives to the wreck uncovered plenty of them still in the cargo holds.)
Didn't help that the crew panicked and thought they could try to beach it in the Irish coast, which just sank it faster.
She had no business being torpedoed. She was a passenger ship. Carrying weapons isn’t gonna change that.
@@starrsmith3810 Damn right she didn't. I'm not justifying what happened, but lamenting that it was enough for the Germans to make an excuse for it.
Didn't the crew not know about the munitions though?
@@Thunderchild-gz4gcnone of the officers knew but the captain knew
🎥LUSITANIA needs a Hollywood movie treatment and this new LUSITANIA movie needs to be a much better movie than the fuckin Titanic movies, which I am very tired the same story of the ship hitting the iceberg, but this time LUSITANIA is hit by a torpedo and LUSITANIA was never made into a full length movie in a century! Please Hollywood make LUSITANIA for me‼️🙏
LUSITANIA will someday become a new Hollywood ship disaster movie, but it will be the true story that we have been waiting for a century!
THERES already a movie
Only a 2007 TV movie that was made by Discovery Channel. But I seriously wish PARAMOUNT PICTURES was going to make LUSITANIA into a New Hollywood Movie which they should’ve made since 2000 or 2015!
what's the name of the game?
Thats not a game, its animation made in Lumion 10 and Sony Vegas 14
It wasn’t three minutes, it was 0 seconds.
It was 18 minutes actually
DO you have a discord or email

Shooting that ship down was completely unnecessary....SMH
Well, the Lusitania was carrying a load of military hardware to Europe.
fun fact: The RMC Lusitania was indeed carrying ammunition (700 or so) ammunitions back then, so the sinking was justify.
RMC?
I mean still isn’t justified but more explained.
@@zhackiethedog sorry, I meant RMS :p
She is gone
Decent effort, but far from historically accurate.
Spain won world cup
Germans:weaknesses soviet
British:weaknesses Germany
America: weaknesses *no one*
Say it with me:
War crime
ужасно...
All the same should never have happened at all
