Join author and historian Diana Preston as she relates the final fatal voyage of the Cunard liner Lusitania, the subject of her book dramatised for TV by the BBC and Discovery Channel.
The loss of the Lusitania, torpedoed by the German submarine U-20 off the coast of Southern Ireland in 1915, ranks with the human tragedy of the Titanic. As Diana discusses, it was also a pivotal moment in the First World War and aspects of the event remain controversial to this day.
This event will be taking place in the lecture theatre at the National Maritime Museum, but will also be streamed live on zoom. Click here to register for this event.
