Lusitania: An Illustrated Biography (Volume One):
Life of a Greyhound
July 2024
For liner enthusiasts, the name Lusitania is synonymous with tragedy. Since the 2005 publication of my first self-published book, Atlantic Liners, my efforts have been aimed at helping fill in the larger picture of the ship’s life before she was sunk in 1915. The simple truth is that before her loss, for seven-and-a-half years, Lusitania was one of the finest, most successful liners on the North Atlantic. That history will be forgotten no longer.
The History Press is releasing a two-volume set of books entitled Lusitania: An Illustrated Biography. Volume One will focus on the design, construction, and career of the liner up to the outbreak of World War One in August 1914. Volume Two, releasing in early 2025 in time for the 110th anniversary of the sinking, will offer an unprecedented scholarly and forensic analysis of Lusitania‘s final months and sinking.
