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!!!!

∙ 13y agoThey both sank? Although one was a torpedo and the other an iceberg. They both had many devastating deaths and improper use of lifeboats. Neither of their captains took the threats they received seriously, the Lusitania believing that the U-boats wouldn't attack a passenger ship and the Titanic believing that anything that could sink her would be able to see from far away.

∙ 12y agoNo, they had nothing to do with each other.

The Titanic and the Olympic were sister ships, both built by Harland & Wolff in Belfast, NI. Apart from mostly cosmetic elements, they were identical in almost every regard.
