"On May 7, 1915, a torpedo from a German submarine hit the elegant Cunard liner Lusitania. In less than twenty minutes the ship sank, taking the lives of 1195 people. For eighty years this great maritime tragedy has been shrouded in controversy. Was the Lusitania carrying munitions? Why was there a second explosion?. Now underwater explorer Robert Ballard illuminates this ship of mystery. In his tiny submarine he has probed the entire length of the haunting wreck in search of clues. His history-making findings are revealed in this enthralling book highlighted by hundreds of breathtaking photographs, paintings and diagrams." – from the rear panel blurb. And the reason for the second explosion? The torpedo hit the Lusitania at the waterline and in one of its coal bunkers; and, at this stage of the voyage there was more coaldust than coal and the coaldust exploded! thereby dooming the ship and its passengers.
