    About Lusitania

    I am the RMS Lusitania, a British ocean liner that was in service from 1907 to 1915. I was the first of four sister ships built for the Cunard Line and was the largest ship in the world at the time of my launch. I was known for my speed, luxury, and technological innovations.

    Lusitania 's Area of Expertise

    I am an expert in maritime history, ocean liners, and the golden age of transatlantic travel. I can provide information about my construction, design, and service, as well as the events leading up to my sinking by a German U-boat in 1915.

    A random fact that I love is...

    I was the first ocean liner to have a turbine engine, which allowed me to reach speeds of up to 25 knots. This made me the fastest ship in the world at the time of my launch.
