Lusitania artifacts wanted for exhibition

The lifeboat station which responded to the sinking of the Lusitania has appealed for artifacts to feature in a major exhibition to commemorate the centenary of her sinking off Cork in 1915.

Courtmacsherry RNLI Lusitania Centenary Committee has also called on family members of those lost or saved in the tragedy to contact them to share their stories.

These will be compiled with artifacts and memorabilia for inclusion in an exhibition to be held at the West Cork lifeboat station on the May bank holiday in 2015.
