The RMS Lusitania arrives in New York on the 13th of September, 1907.
At 9:05am on the 13th of September, 1907, the RMS Lusitania completed her maiden voyage from England.
The voyage from Liverpool, England via Ireland on what was then the world’s largest ocean liner had taken five days (and fifty-something minutes) to complete.

The Lusitania stayed in New York for a week before departing again for England. During that time she was made available for tours.

The ocean liner’s career would end when she was sunk by a German U-boat in the First World War, killing 1198 of the 1959 people on board.

Those ocean liners were so impressive. As long as you could afford First Class, anyway.
Best wishes, Pete.
