In May 1915, the RMS Lusitania leaves New York for Liverpool, carrying a mix of passengers including American publisher Charles Lauriat, wealthy art collector and nationalist Sir Hugh Lane, and socialite Theodate Pope with her companion Edwin Friend. The liner is commanded by Captain Turner, Kenneth Cranham. Amid rising wartime tensions, warnings of German submarine activity off the Irish coast shadow the voyage.
Near the coast of County Cork, the ship is spotted by U-20, commanded by Kapitänleutnant Walther Schwieger, Florian Panzner. A torpedo strikes the Lusitania on the starboard side, followed moments later by a second, more powerful explosion that floods compartments and fans chaos across the decks. Passengers scramble for lifeboats, many of which are launched improperly or capsize.
