The sinking of the Lusitania, World War I, 7 May 1915
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful lithograph capturing a tragic moment in history. The image depicts the first sighting of a torpedo from the German submarine U-20 that ultimately led to the sinking of this iconic passenger ship off Old Kinsale Head, Ireland. The artist, Philip Dadd, skillfully portrays the chaos and terror that unfolded on that fateful day. The composition showcases the immense wake left by the torpedo as it hurtles towards its target. On deck, British passengers can be seen scrambling for safety amidst scenes of panic and confusion. This print serves as a chilling reminder of both the horrors of naval warfare during World War I and the devastating consequences faced by innocent civilians caught in its crosshairs. It highlights not only an act considered by many to be a war crime but also symbolizes Great Britain's resilience in facing such attacks. The sinking of the Lusitania was a significant event that further escalated tensions between Germany and Britain during this global conflict. This historical anecdote continues to captivate audiences today due to its impact on shaping public opinion and influencing international relations. Bridgeman Images' reproduction allows us to reflect upon this pivotal moment in time while honoring those who lost their lives aboard this ill-fated ocean liner.
