Not up to the Titanic filmsOct 28, 2008
By Roger Long
"longrush"
This documentary is just a wee bit thin with respect to the Lusitania. It leaves open the precise reason the vessel sank, and all we have is speculation about the explosion of coal dust. The views of the liner on the ocean floor are not nearly as extensive as those of Titanic, so we cannot see the effects of the second explosion, the one that followed that of the U-boat torpedo. Was no attempt made to enter the wreck? If not, why not? We saw inside Titanic, which was broken in two or three sections.
It would also have been useful to have more on the political fallout over the sinking. A propaganda medal was struck (I have one), a bronze disk showing death selling tickets to the passengers. It was supposedly of German make but was cast in Britain and distributed in the U.S. to get America into the Great War. According to this documentary, the sinking angered Americans enough to go to war--but it took 23 months to do this, with a presidential election between. Why? President Wilson was reelected with the slogan, "He kept us out of war." The film left all that out.
The best part of this disk is about the Andrea Dproa/Stockholm disaster. I was on the Cunard Line pier in 1956 when the Stockholm docked with survivors of the disaster and saw frightened passengers of the Doria actually kiss the solid concrete. It was a special moment.
The comprehensive Lusitania documentary is yet to be made. Meanwhile, we have this.

The agony of lost soulsApr 21, 2012
By viewer of films
The dawn of the 20th century, the war to end all wars was just a few months old. Enter the Lusitania a luxury british liner. It left New York in May 1915, destination Liverpool, England. She never made it because the Germans sank her just off the coast of Ireland at 1:30 PM May 7th 1915. The film shows where she lies on the bottom and how her sinking caused America to enter WWI two years later. A good film to have in your collection. This is true history and a must have for that reason alone. Like the Titanic, most people will be knowledgeable about Lusitania if you were alive at that time in history.

factual and revealingSep 29, 2009
By Daniel J. Agostinho
After all those years it is revealing to learn of the demise of the Lusitania and what lead up to the demise of The Lusitania, I felt sorry for all those lives lost and what the survivors had to endure.

Lusitana ReviewDec 12, 2008
By Richard H. Gerdes
As an ocean liner lover, this one was a home run. Robert Ballard certainly knows how to tell the tell of a doomed ocean liner, with interviews of actual passengers and historical film footage. Definitely worth viewing!!
