The picture of the ship sinking wasn't the Titanic, the ship in the picture sinking, was the RMS Lusitania after being torpedoed by the German Type 19 U-Boat, SM U-20 off the coast of Queenstown in Southern Ireland on the afternoon of the 7th May 1915 during World War I. Prior to the sinking, the Royal Navy had a naval blockade set up off the German ports in attempt to stave Germany in submission. In response, the German High Command had announced an unrestricted submarine warfare campaign and declared all waters around Great Britain and Ireland, a war zone and issued an order to all U-Boat commanders that any ships stopped in British Waters, whether they were flying the flag of Britain or one of her allies or a neutral country would be sunk on sight without warning. The U-Boat commanders were also issued with a copy of "The 1914 Edition of Jane's Fighting Ships" that contained the list of British and Allied ships that were considered as legitimate targets for the U-Boats. Both the Lusitania and her sister ship, the RMS Mauritania were listed as one of the U-Boats' legitimate targets as the book listed both ships as Armed Auxiliary Cruisers. Prior to the Lusitania's 202nd and final voyage, on the 22nd April 1915, the German Embassy in Washington D.C. had placed a warning in the paper beside the sailing times of all ships, (including the Lusitania), warning passengers sailing on ships that are flying the flags of Great Britain or her allies to Britain, would be at risk of being sunk if spotted by any U-Boats operating in waters that the German High Naval Command had declared as a war zone. Onboard the Lusitania were 1,960 passengers and crew as well as a secret cargo of ammunition destined for the British and Allied soldiers who were fighting on the Western Front in the trenches of Belgium and France. Out of the 1,960 onboard, 761 survived, including the Lusitania's captain, William Turner who washed off the bridge as the ship sunk. Of the 1,193 died, 128 were American, 94 were children and 31 were infants. After the sinking, there were anti-German sentiment riots in Glasgow, Liverpool, London, and Manchester, resulting in a number of German and Austrian-owned stores being attacked and also the were calls by the British Press for more recruits to enlist and avenge those killed in sinking. Germany suspended their unrestricted submarine warfare campaign, only to resume the campaign in February 1917. While the sinking of Lusitania had played no part in the American entry into the First World War, it had caused tension between Germany and the US. The Zimmermann Telegram sent from the German State Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Arthur Zimmermann to the German Ambassador to Mexico, Heinrich von Eckardt in Mexico City, proposing a military alliance between Germany and Mexico, in return for German aid to help Mexico to reconquer the US states of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas (all former Mexican territories that were lost in previous wars with the US) on the 3rd March 1917, had led the United States to enter World War I against Germany and the Central Powers on the 6th April 1917. After the sinking of the Lusitania, the captain of the U-20, Walther Schwieger resumed his career as commander when he was placed in command of the Type 87 U-Boat, SM U-88 on the 23rd July 1916, on the 5th September 1917, the U-88 was sunk by naval mine from the British Q-Ship, HMS Stonecrop off the island of Terschelling, just off the northern coast of the Netherlands, killing all 43 officers and crew onboard, including Kapitänleutnant Schwieger. -- Last edit: 2022-06-24 17:25:30 |
