Lusitania telegraph machine recovered from seabed

The main telegraph machine from the wreck of the Lusitania has been recovered from the seabed.

It was feared the machine had been lost to the depths as a previous attempt to raise it from the wreck site off the coast of Co Cork last summer ended in failure when a lift bag punctured.

Heritage Minister Heather Humphreys said the telegraph had been relocated by recreational divers, who marked its position on the seabed.
