EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "LUSITANIA: PASSENGERS" takes us back to a tragic moment in history. It captures the faces of prominent passengers, both saved and missing, from the ill-fated Cunard liner Lusitania. The haunting image serves as a poignant reminder of the events that unfolded on May 7,1915 when this majestic ocean liner was mercilessly torpedoed by a German submarine. In this group portrait, we see men and women who were part of an early English society boarding this vessel for what they believed would be a routine voyage across the ocean. Little did they know that their journey would end in disaster. Some faces reflect hope and relief as survivors who managed to escape the sinking ship, while others bear an air of sadness and loss for those who never made it out alive. The photograph not only captures individual portraits but also tells a larger story about human resilience and tragedy during World War I. It serves as a testament to the fragility of life amidst conflict and showcases how transportation and travel can become intertwined with historical events. As we gaze upon these frozen moments in time, let us remember those whose lives were forever altered by this maritime catastrophe. May their stories continue to be told so that future generations may learn from past mistakes and strive for peace on our shared oceans.
