The British ship known as RMS Lusitania ferried people & goods across the Atlantic Ocean between the U.S & U.K. The war made travelling across the ocean dangerous. German submarines stalked British waters, continually looking for enemy vessels to sink. All ships were instructed to travel at full speed & make zigzag movements to avoid being attacked. On May 7, 1915, Captain Turner slowed the ship down because of fog & travelled in a line thus being attacked by the Germans which sunk the ship. -
