Lusitania wreck gifted to Old Head Signal Tower in hope to create 'living museum' to the tragedy

The American owner of the wreck of the Lusitania has gifted it to a local group in Cork and hopes his bequest will help them create a “living museum” to the tragedy.

Greg Bemis, who has owned the wreck since the mid-1960s, signed the donation agreement with the Lusitania Museum and Old Head Signal Tower not-for-profit company, on the Old Head of Kinsale this morning.
