What you experience in this simulation is based on accurate representations of what occurred during the Lusitanias final moments. This includes lifeboat deployment, how the ship was sunk, and ship sinking angles. Our other simulationexperience games include one of the greatest ocean liners ever made, the Titanic, and its sister ship the Britannic. Both British ocean liners had been the largest ships in the world when first launched (the Lusitania at 787 feet in 1906, and the Titanic at 883 feet in 1911). And both were ostentatiously luxurious, designed to ferry the worlds wealthiest passengers between Europe and the United States in comfort and elegance. But not everyone believed the German Navy would follow through on the threat. Notable doubters included Winston Churchill and the Lusitanias captain, W. T. Turner, who told a reporter, Its the best joke Ive heard in many days, this talk of torpedoing. Among those who died on the Titanic were Benjamin Guggenheim, heir to his familys vast mining fortune; Isidor Straus, co-owner of Macys; and John Jacob Astor IV, widely reported to be the richest man in the world. Vanderbilt, for example, had been booked on the Titanic three years earlier but didnt sail. Lady Duff-Gordon, one of the most famous Titanic survivors, had a ticket for the Lusitania but canceled at the last minute for health reasons, per Smithsonian.com. On the Titanic, women and children and the very wealthy were more likely to be saved during an ordered evacuation effort that followed the social rules of the day. On the Lusitania, according to TIME, chaos reigned and the fittest survived, winning the race to lifeboats and flotation devices. They were, therefore, disabused of the idea that there was any such thing as a ship that was too grand to sink their own included, as TIME reports.
