Watch Sinking of the Lusitania Online.
Movie Title: Sinking of the Lusitania Sinking of the Lusitania is available for streaming or downloading. |
This Discovery Channel speical 90-minute feature is the closets thing to a movie that has been released on the world’s second most famous shipwreck after Titanic. In many ways, it can be considered a movie because it fully renacts the events which led up to the most famous sinking of World War I. The actors are great; the set used as the Lusitania herself does look identitcal to the real ship. In fact, newsreel footage taken on May 1, 1915 the day the Lusitania set sail from New York on her fatal voyage is included. The docu-drama also recreates the infamous U-20 and her crew, who were responsible for torpedoing the Lusitania on May 7th, killing 1,195 innocent men, women and children. In just 18 minutes, the 785-foot long ship sank after listing completly to her starboard (right) side, the same side where the torpedo struck. Within seconds of the torpedo’s impact, a secondary mysterious explosion occured farther forward; this is believed to have been the TRUE cause for the Lusitania’s rapid destruction. To this day, no one can say for sure what caused it; whether it was a coal dust explosion, boilers or even the war supplies rumored to have been aboard near where the torpedo hit. The feature also recreats the heart-breaking aftermath of the sinking; the recovery of floating bodies in Queenstown (Cobh) Southern Ireland; the trial held the month after; and the fate of some of those who survivied. Since the year 2000, many books have been published of the Lusitania more than ever before. Hopefully, a movie shall be made one day to help keep the memory of those who perished alive; and to promote further education into World War I, for there are not a lot of movies based on the First World War. But there are many movies about World War II. The story of the Lusitania coincides with her great rival TITANIC; its the story of one of the world’s most luxurious, biggest and fastest ships that ever existed. And like the story of Titanic, the richest people in the world traveled aboard her during this final voyage. In many ways, the sinking of the Lusitania is perhaps somewhat more tragic than TITANIC; it was a deliberate murderous act of war upon a ship of innocent souls.
I expected this to be a dry documentary with grainy old newsreel. With the use of CGI the filmakers have re-created the last voyage of the Lusitania and made it interesting and viewable
