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!!!!

What happen to the lusitania?
The Lusitania was a British passenger ship that belonged to the Cunard Line. On May 1, 1915, she departed New York en route to Britain, that day, there was a notice in newspapers that warned passengers taking the Lusitania of German U-boat activity in the waters surrounding Britain. 6 days later, on May 7, a German U boat caught the Lusitania in it's scopes. At 2:10 in the afternoon, the Lusitania was struck by a torpedo on the forward starboard side, a second explosion occurred shortly thereafter, the reason for which has come under intense investigation regarding whether the Lusitania carried ammunition and gun powder aboard and whether the torpedoing was justified. At 2:12, the order was given to abandon ship, by this time panic on the decks were prevalent; at 2:14 the ships power went out, trapping most passengers in the dark depths of the ship with no way out. Only a couple of boats were able to be launched on its starboard side as the ship listed and flipped on its side. The boats on her port side were rendered useless as boarding them was possible but launching them would result in them being sucked under the ship as she lifted out of the water. At 2:28, she finally went under, sinking in around 18 minutes and taking 1,198 of her 1,959 passengers with her.
