Lusitania Centenary:
At exactly 2.10 pm On the 7th May 1915 the U-boat U-20 fired a single torpedo which struck the wonder ship of the age, the RMS Lusitania, somewhere near the bridge. The Lusitania sank in eighteen minutes with the tragic loss of 1201 lives.
On the 7th May 2015 we plan to commemorate that historic event with the sounding for the first time in 100 years of the Lusitania’s whistle at the proposed Lusitania Museum on the Old Head of Kinsale which is the nearest point of land to the wreck site just over eleven miles due south of the Old Head of Kinsale Lighthouse.
