Lusitania - one of history's greatest ships. Her loss in 1915, sinking at the hands of the German U-Boat U-20, shocked the world and continues to stir debate - but where did this legendary ship get its start? What happened before the War when Lusitania was at the height of her career? What deadly sequence of events was triggered that would result in the ship's sinking? In this two-part documentary series we'll explore the Lusitania story from glorious start top horrifying end - we'll examine original plans, review authentic footage and relive the past through spectacular 3D graphics to reveal the Lusitania's sad tale.
