The End Of The Lusitania

A lookout on the Lusitania saw a torpedo coming from the German U-boat U-20. He said "Torpedo closing on the starboard bow!" The passengers on the Lusitania saw the torpedo. One of them said "Oh my gosh!" Captain William Turner also saw the torpedo and shouted "Hard to starboard!" But it was too late. The torpedo hit the Lusitania. The Lusitania sank to the bottom of the sea, killing 1,198 people. This act prompted the entry of the United States of America into World War 1.
