    Another 3D Lusitania Model

    Hello everyone, I'm a novice at modeling ships in Blender and I was recently inspired by FelisLeopard's excellent Lusitania model to give a crack at it myself. If anyone could send me or point me in the direction of deck plans, framing plans, or high-resolution images of the Lusitania, it would...

    Any Recent Activity At The Wreck ?

    Would anyone happen to know if there have been any recent dives to the Lusitania in the last twelve-eighteen months or so ? Or if any are planned for the near future ? The last big expedition that was that done for the "Dark Secrets of the Lusitania" documentary a few years back wasn't it ? I...

    Did any Titanic or Lusitania survivors die in the Holocaust?

    I'm curious because a lot of people who boarded ocean liners in those days were Europeans, and the Holocaust killed many European Jews.

    Lusitania wreck painting

    Lusitania wreck I painted for fun. Acrylic on wood 18x30. Got the idea from a Ken Marschall painting of the same angle, but I wanted to go darker and dingier with it. Thanks for lookin.

    Lusitania 103rd Anniversary

    A little early on the matter but i thought id start a thread compiling all the stuff happening for the anniversary. So far there is a new Documentary on it, and yes its as bad and "theory based" as you can think. Even without me being able to understand it, it has a real crappy animation that...

    New Discovery - Lifeboat Davit Recovered

    The Lusitania was featured on my local TV station here in Northern Ireland. Incredible as it sounds, one of her lifeboat davits has been hiding in plain sight for decades right next to the public toilets in the coastal village of Annalong. With no signs or anything to say what it is. Imagine...

    Frankestein Titanic in Peaky Blinders + Why do TV shows keep amalgamating ships?

    Viewer discretion is advised...if you don't like ship designs being butchered. Just looking though Google and on another forum came across this weird screenshot taken from the BBC TV Show ''Peaky Blinders'' showing a weird amalgamation of the Titanic at Liverpool (in 1923!) (Image found here...

    Titanic vs. Lusitania's Funnels

    One of the more popular theories as to why Titanic's first funnel collapsed was due to base compression from the water pressure difference during the beginning of the plunge. I know that the funnels were made of a relatively thin metal, almost the same thickness as a thick cardboard. However...

    People trapped belowdecks?

    Since the Lusitania lost power early after the attack thus plunging the unexposed interior spaces into darkness, I imagine many passengers and crew were caught out and unable to get up to the open decks before the ship sank. Since the ship had so many bulkheads including a longitudinal one and...

    Centre (or Center, if you like) of Gravity: Lusitania vs Titanic

    Looking at the profiles of the ill fated liners Lusitania and Titanic. I was struck by the differences in external design. Obviously, they told only part of the story since there were other factors to consider like position of the engines, boilers, storage holds and perhaps admiralty...

    Lusitania's lifeboats

    Does anyone know if Lusitania's lifeboats were fitted with tricing pendants? It looks like they weren't because I remember reading somewhere on the internet that because of Lusitania's list there was a big gap between the deck and the ship. Just asking....

    Piece from Lusitania shipwreck?

    I think my father was a part of a shipwreck expedition in the mid/late 80's and i'm pretty sure it was Lusitania. He didn't get to tell me all the stories before he passed away. Lately I've been watching documentaries about Lusitania and i though i should investigate the artifacts he found...
