LUSITANIA

A new Lusitania research discovery. In 2019, when we started mapping out the damage to the third funnel which occurred shortly after the torpedoing, one of the most helpful survivor accounts was by Daniel Taylor Brown. He said when he got on deck, the third funnel was instead canted to port while the ship listed to starboard. Now we have a more detailed account by second class passenger, Allan Beattie. Just after the explosion the torpedo, he said, “and the second funnel, which had been knocked over, showered soot on me.” Since Beattie was aft, the third funnel would be the second one closest to him. Keep following us as we add more pieces to the puzzle to bring you the most reliable information when telling the full story of the Lusitania.
