    The sinking of the Lusitania wasn’t just the torpedo hit itself, but also where it hit. The torpedo hit a transverse coal bunker that ran across the width of the ship just in front of the high-pressure steam boilers that fed the turbines. The bunker was empty after crossing the Atlantic, so the cold waters of the Irish Sea came flooding in and caused a second, more massive steam explosion as the metal of the boilers contracted due to the cold water and could no longer contain the high-pressure steam. That second explosion is what doomed the ship as it both cut the control lines between the bridge and the rudder as well as ceased feeding steam to the ship’s turbines, including those that powered her generators.

    I love that the fact that the Lusitania was carrying munitions (thus making it a legitimate target) was very conveniently ignored.
    Instead, the Germans are, just as conveniently, painted here as "sea terrorists".
    The Germans knew that munitions were in the Lusitania. They warned governments and passengers alike not to cross the Atlantic aboard her. That's not a terroristic act. Terrorist do not warn their victims beforehand. Governments played down the threat, passengers got onboard, the ship was tragically sunk. It is a tragedy of war, not a terroristic one.

    The truth is that HMS Cressy, HMS Hogue and HMS Aboukir were not top notch ships as is stated in the documentary. In fact by 1914 they were obsolete and as third rate ships only equiped with reservists. But due to the war they were used for tasks that were beyong their survivability. And people knew it already at the time: the squadron had an ironic knickname: the "Live Bait Squadron". And that epitheth became a self-fulfilling prophecy...

    The Germans posted big ads in British papers not to take ocean trips in the war zone and yet the British government allowed it.

    Sunk by indirect "friendly fire".
    Prof. Grove doesn't seem a real specialist calling the three Cressy--Class armoured cruisers top and powerful warships. In 1914 this classes of ships were obsolete and second to third rated in every navy. Sounds more like a political statement than a serious research.
