RMS Lusitania met a disastrous end as a casualty of WWI when she was torpedoed by a German submarine on May 7, 1915. Many American passengers were on board and the great ship sank in just 18 minutes, eight miles (15 km) off of the coast of Ireland, killing 1,198 of the 1,959 people aboard.
That picture above is my friend Hugh. That object behind him is one of the propellers recovered from the Lusitania.
It gives me an interesting feeling to be able to touch history like that...
Tim, they call him
