    Hopefully i can add some features in the future! The reason for the sliding and getting stuck is that the game is programed that at 24.5 degrees, the player begins to slide due to the list (It was reported that as the bridge went under, people could no longer traverse the decks). I would also keep a eye out for the bridge doors as they do open up during the sinking! Also if anyone is curious on the fine details of this animation, make sure to read the companion document. Includes a detailed explanation of each lifeboat, the ships trim and heel, the second explosion and the wreck. Also i dont remember programming VR into it (tired it a few times but could never get anything presentable working), so it might be interesting to see if it works. Oh and yes this is in real-time from the initial impact with the torpedo.

    The Lusitania, built by Clyde brown shipyards in 1907 sister ship to the Mauritania and half cousin and half sister of the aquitania.
    She is 32,000 and something tons
    She was basically a American ship but owned by Cunard line. The Lusitania sank just in 18 minutes, she had a very big list Which was a very big problem, her port side lifeboats crushed the waiting passengers on the port side and her starboard lifeboats swung out 8 feet from the railing so the people on board were doom. # my favourite room onboard is the 3 class dinning room cause it was even luxurious than Titanic's. Love the vid spammals. Cheers Jhian :D

    Here's a little Lusitania fact: I recently read in a book that although it seemed quite real that the second explosion was caused by the ammunition, there is another explanation. A undersea explorer, Robert Ballard, dove to the wreck of the Lusitania in 1993, he came up with the theory that empty coal bunkers let coal dust to mix with the air, creating a explosive aerosol mixture. When the fire from the torpedo explosion reached the coal bunkers, it set off the second explosion. If your interested in the book, it's called Disasters At Sea: A Visual History Of Infamous Shipwrecks by Liz Mechem and is an excellent book (featuring many of the most well known shipwrecks across the world). It's an amazing book, I ordered it off Amazon and I have learned a lot of maritime history from it, I would consider checking it out if you have time! Once again, great video, Spammals!

    Fantastic video man. As a child Titanic got me hooked then I started looking into all the other liner disasters and Lusitania is probably the second most well known of them. Her story is every bit as fascinating as Titanic’s IMO. And she DID go down that fast. Anywhere between 15-18 minutes from the first explosion to the last tip of her masts going under. This video is most interesting to me from the vantage point of being able to see it as it happened after reading about it all these years. What the video is obviously missing is the sheer mass of panicking people that must have clogged her upper decks. A particularly disturbing story is of the full lifeboat from towards port side aft that swung inward due to the list and broke away from the davit sliding all the way forward down the boat deck crushing innumerable people before hitting the port bridge wing and breaking apart killing everyone on board. Or the people stuck inside the elevators that were trapped and drowned when the power went out. It’s so different from Titanic because at least those people had time to react.

    As an Irishman the Lusitania is a tragedy in our past, especially with the people who live in the coastal areas that were so close to her, the sinking played a huge part in getting more Irish men to join to fight for a monarch they hated against an enemy they hated more, it had the same effect on the Americans as many onboard were from America. My screensaver on the phone I'm watching this on is actually a WW1 recruitment poster that's captioned, "Irishmen, avenge the Lusitania, join an Irish regiment today" with an artist's painting of the ship sinking. It just shows the horror these sinkings of these great ships caused.

    Many boats flipped over and scraped the hull on the port side due to the list. On the starboard side, many boats were launched (relatively speaking) and some flipped over due to how fast the ship was sinking, frantic crew members, and overcrowding on the boats themselves. It was really a sad day in history.

I actually have no idea about pretty much most the details, I was originally led to believe he was a grandfather by my sister, but years late I was told by someone who knows more than my sister (my mother) that he was an uncle, I wish I could get more details but the person who could tell passed away in 2017.

    Watching a grand liner like the Lusitania get murdered is never easy. It's so fascinating how a ship as large as that sank so fast. Maybe my memory deceives me, but I thought the ship rolled over more than what this experience depicted. I also thought the bow struck bottom before the stern submerged beneath the surface similar to what happened with Britannic. That solemn piano music sure gets me right in the feels. This sounded like the same music you had in your video of the Titanic distress messages. As I watched that video, and now hearing the music again, it gets me thinking about if only Lusitania had been in the area (even being as far away as Carpathia). Since she was a Blue Riband holder she could have been there pretty quick. I guess it's pointless to think about such things, but I do. lol

    I do know that some time in the 40s, the Royal Navy dropped depth charges on her as part of a "training exercise", because in the 30 years after her sinking, public interest was becoming super high. I personally do believe she was carrying munitions, or in the least that the Germans thought she did because other British ocean liners had been sunken for carrying munitions.

    Ok, so i read a book on the Lusitania called ROBERT BALLARD’S LUSITANIA and they talk about the second explosion extensively. So apparently, the Lusitania was carrying 4,200 cases of .303 caliber rifle ammunition bought from the Remington company. However, they were legal cargo. Interestingly enough, officials had conducted tests before the war, subjecting boxes of ammunition to open fires and the like, all without serious consequences. The torpedo hit at about the bridge, close to where the britannic would be hit with a mine some time later. The torpedo hits one of lusitania’s coal bunkers, the one adjacent to her magazine. After the voyage to New York, the Lusitania is running low on coal, and her bunkers are filled with more coal dust than actual bituminous coal, a highly combustable type of coal, the kind the Lusitania carried. At this point the torpedo slams into the side of the ship and explodes, shaking the whole ship, force feeding the coal dust with oxygen, and at some point a spark ignites this mixture, causing the massive second explosion the doomed the ship. It is no wonder that loads of coal are strewn about the wreck site, and this would support that theory. (Information paraphrased from ROBERT BALLARD’S LUSITANIA)

    The wreck was also heavily depth-charged during WWII, which, combined with the current, likely contributed to the poor condition of the wreck today.
    (This is of course used as "evidence" of a cover-up, trying to bury or destroy any evidence of munitions)

    Good call taking lifeboat number 1, it was cut away from ship by two crewmen.
    Only 6 (7 if you count boat number 14 which was swamp because like Titanic’s boat number 7 the drain plug wasn’t in, and unlike Titanic they didn’t plug the hole.) of the 46 life boats were successfully launched. Most of the collapsibles floated off and almost all the port side boats they tried to launch swung in.

    I thought the LUSITANIA stern was rising up into the sky and turning on its side before sliding into the ocean surface as the ship was disappearing. This will forever be a sad history for the LUSITANIA of WORLD WAR 1 and the people of Ireland will always remember the ship that sunk on their southern coastline!

  • @augustosolari7721

    When the ship sunk, it was longer than the depth of the water, so the bow hit the bottom before sinking. That was the last loud boom you heard.

    I don't believe it was ever confirmed whether or not Lucy was carrying munitions, but the torpedo struck way aft of the cargo holds. Probable second explosion cause was related to the boilers or the steam pipes.

  • @destinationunknown8373

    I actually just recently did a research paper on the Lusitania. I have a book by Dr. Ballard explaining how he thinks it was just a boiler exploding upon contact with the water.

    @chuckferrel5482 Před 4 lety

    Did you know: Just as the bow started to go under the water, the port side propellers were a good 10 feet above the water, and a man was actually seen jumping from the stern and hitting one of them. This caused his leg to get severed off in the process.

      He survived the war and was given command of SS Ivernia 1916 and that ship too was sunk by torpedos a year later.
