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.

What did the titanic and lusitania have in common?

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!!!!
