I was researching something else earlier today when I happened upon this advertisement for the sailing of the Lusitania. It is from the April 25, 1915 edition of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle and announces that the Cunard liner is to sail from New York to Liverpool the following Saturday. Yes, it was that voyage of the Lusitania. I don’t think it qualifies as a lesson but it is certainly a reminder that historical events often take place concurrently. Interestingly, this advert contains no warning to prospective passengers that the ship would be sailing in enemy waters and at risk of getting torpedoed.
