The ship’s memory quickly became mired in a firestorm of international politics, accusations over blame overshadowing both the human tragedy and pre-tragedy triumph of this beautiful ship,filled with technical wonders and firsts. This volume, the first in a two-volume set, tells how Lusitania came to be built, shows her construction, discusses her technical marvels, and reveals her incredible 7½-year career, revealing why passengers travelled on her again and again, even after larger and more comfortable liners like Olympic and Titanic came on the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners Books Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41135954067591,"sku":"9781803995236","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3199\/6807\/files\/9781803995236.jpg?v=1711640535","url":"https:\/\/thebookhousebroughtyferry.pro\/products\/9781803995236","provider":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
