‘The Lusitania is coming home’: Wreck and artefacts to be gifted to Cork heritage centre

It’s as if the Lusitania is coming home. That’s how diver and Lusitania expert Eoin McGarry described the move by his friend, US business-man Gregg Bemis, yesterday to gift the wreck and its artefacts to a local heritage group which is planning to develop a Lusitania museum on the Cork coast.
Mr McGarry, who has dived the wreck some 18km off the Old Head of Kinsale more than anyone else in the world, revealed that Mr Bemis had two other options for the wreck.
