The image vividly portrays the devastating aftermath caused by a torpedo strike from a German submarine during World War I. As chaos ensued, a number of passengers tragically drowned in this catastrophic event. The sinking of the Lusitania became an infamous act that intensified tensions between America and Germany during this tumultuous time.
