The Sinking of the RMS Lusitania

Most of us have at least heard of the sinking of the RMS Lusitania being one of the proximal causes of the United States entering WWI, but that isn't *entirely* true.  As usual, there is more to the story!

 

Join the Rebeccas this week as they delve into the tragedy of this loss and learn how it differed in many ways from the other major maritime catastrophe of the era, the sinking of the Titanic.
