EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative tableau showcases a poignant tribute to the RMS Lusitania, a British ocean liner that met its tragic end on May 7, 1915, during World War I. The centerpiece of this display is a musical score for "The Lusitania Waltz" by Ezra Read. Composed in the aftermath of the sinking, this piece of music served as a poignant reminder of the ship and the lives lost. Surrounding the score are two memorabilia items that pay homage to the Lusitania. The first is a ceramic plate inscribed with the words "In Memoriam RMS Lusitania Torpedoed 7th May 1915." The plate's simple yet powerful legend serves as a poignant reminder of the ship's fate. The second item is a bowl depicting both the Lusitania and her sister ship, the Mauretania. These magnificent vessels, symbols of transport and travel during the 1910s, were a testament to the era's technological prowess and the ability to traverse the world's oceans with unprecedented speed and comfort. The Lusitania's sinking was a significant event during the Great War, as it was the first time a civilian passenger ship was attacked and sunk without warning, resulting in the loss of over 1,100 lives. This poignant collection of items serves as a poignant reminder of the ship and the lives lost, as well as the era's spirit of travel and transportation that was forever changed by the ravages of war.
