No, there was no connection. Lusitania and sister ship Mauretania belonged to Cunard Line and were slightly smaller but faster than White Star Line's Titanic, Olympicand Britannic. All were competitors in the lucrative New York to Southampton run.
LUSITANIA
No the Mauritania and Lusitania are from a differenent company than the Titanic! Titanic's sister sips are The Olympic and The Britannic!
No. Titanic was constructed by Harland & Wolff. Lusitania was built by John Brown & Co.
No. Lusitania did not have a crash, she was torpedoed near Ireland.
No, the Lusitania set sail on May 1, 1915, while the Titanic sank on April 14, 1912.
No. An iceberg sank the Titanic. The Germans sank the Lusitania.
The lusitania was 750 feet long and 32,500 tones
to compete with the lusitania and the mauratania
Titanic and her sister ships were made in responce to the two new Cunard line ships Mauretania and Lusitania.
The Titanic was named from the Titans, the mythlogy gods, for her HUGE size, luxuay, and speed, but was overuled by Cunard's Lusitania.
Three years after Titanic sank, in 1915, Lusitania was torpedoed off the coast of Ireland.
No, they are completely different boats that met almost the same fate. The Titanic sank when she hit an iceberg in 1912. Ooops, yes the Titanic hit the iceberg, but the Lusitania was sunk by a German U boat (There is a theory the British did it & blamed the Germans) and some US passengers died. This was in May, 1915. It is cited as one of the reasons the US entered into WW1. Sorry, my fault!!!!
