Channel: Steven Rinehart
Date: 2018-12-11

Live radio interview from 2018 on sinking of RMS Lusitania with Gregg Bemis, owner of the salvage rights to the Lusitania wreckage site. The interview focuses on the minority historical view that there were probable British efforts to induce Germany into sinking the Lusitania to bring the United States into WWI on the side of Britain. Evidence of munitions/contraband being carried in her cargo holds is reviewed. Mr. Bemis shares personal observations on his numerous visits to the wreckage site and dealings with British, Irish and American authorities, including Mr. Bemis' belief the Lusitania was, in fact, carrying munitions which caused the second explosion which followed torpedo impact. Mr. Bemis summarizes difficult to analyze information and relays previously overlooked information about the sinking, including statements by Churchill evidencing or implying British complicity in the U-boat attack in 1915. Mr. Bemis reviews the logistical complications facing any maritime archaeological expedition to penetrate her hull. Interview conducted Saturday, November 3, 2018 on K-TALK AM 1640 (KTKK) in Salt Lake City, Utah by Steven Rinehart.
