subject date: 2005-06-08

caption: DISASTERS "The Massacre of the Innocents: The Germans Sink the 'Lusitania,' Carrying Nearly Two Thousand People." The British ocean liner, torpedoed by the German submarine U-20, sank completely within 18 minutes. Due to the speed of the sinking and the steep listing, only six of the 48 lifeboats could be lowered without breaking, managing to carry the survivors to Queenstown. Illustration by Achille Beltrame (March 19, 1871 – February 19, 1945) for the cover of ''La Domenica del Corriere,'' a weekly illustrated supplement to the Corriere della Sera. Milan, May 16–23, 1915.
