Lusitania Memorial Service 2018

A very hot bank holiday in Liverpool was also marked by the annual memorial of the sinking of the Lusitania, 103 years ago today.  I went along to attend the service and took a few photographs which you can see below.  The area around the propeller will be opened up in the new future to make the memorial more accessible to the general public.

I would recommend reading this excellent article by Tom Hutchinson from his Ocean Liners blog on the Lusitania’s Captain, Bowler Bill,  which you can view here.

The whole of today’s service was filmed by Paul Frost and James O’Hanlon which you can see from the below video.
