how many americans were passengers on the lusitania
The often quoted number of 1,959 as total complement thus does not include the stowaways, which would bring the number up to 1,962. From Hoehling/Hoehling: 159 Americans on board, 124 perished. 124 children on board, 94 perished, including 31 of 35 infants. Worth noting is that the often quoted number of 1,195 lost is the âofficialâ number (this site numbers 1,193 lost) , and 1,198 (1,197 on this site) includes the stowaways.
