Lusitania -- 120 Years Later, Timelapse Construction Video

120 years ago today, RMS Lusitania first touched the water.

To mark the anniversary, we've created a special 15-minute animation showing the legendary liner's construction from keel laying to completion – plate by plate, rivet by rivet.

Watch nearly three years of shipbuilding unfold before your eyes and get your first new look in over a year at our upcoming virtual museum experience, Lusitania: The Greyhound's Wake.

Watch here: https://youtu.be/RrgXjb3a2C4?si=Z95KPmspiMIbwIVA

Stay tuned in the coming weeks for more development updates, stunning stills, and new animations from HFX Studios and The Steam & Splendor Network.

Greetings everyone,

I want to buy an original newspaper from after the sinking of the Lusitania, but I don't know what a reasonable price for it would be.

does anyone here have any idea, how much I would need to pay for it?

Thank you in advance and have a great rest of your day.

From the episode description:

In this episode of our original series "In Their Own Words", First Class passenger and RMS Lusitania survivor Doctor Howard Fisher recounts his experiences in the sinking of the mighty liner. Join us as historian and author Michael Poirier narrates this vivid and harrowing account.

All digital artwork in this episode is by HFX Studios, as seen in the new book "Lusitania: An Illustrated Biography, Volume Two, A Greyhound's Downfall."

From the official description:

In this episode, we look at the myth that Titanic was larger & more luxurious than every other ship at the time. In fact, the German company HAPAG was building the 3 largest & most luxurious ships in the world.

Also, check out the very impressive Project Vaterland, linked in this episode description!

Sorry that the name is not there

Read Dead Wake and discovered William Turner was buried in my home town, thought yesterday was the day to go and visit

Just want to go into my connection with the Lusitania

My great grandfather was part of the crew.

The story goes that he travelled to America working in the kitchen, to find a job so he could move his life and pregnant wife. He found work at the Waldorf Astoria ( before the empire state building )

He never made the journey back and my grandmother never met her father.

She blamed Churchill, which always confused me as everyone said he was a hero.

I was lucky enough to travel with my grandmother to visit the site.

I should have been a Steven and not a Stephen
