Open letter to Irish society from the owner of Lusitania wreckage

Any ship wreck that results in the mindless slaughter of 1,198 innocent citizens would seem to cry out for a thorough investigation.

When the Lusitania was sunk in 1915 by one torpedo, followed some 15 seconds later by a monstrous internal explosion which sank the ship in a mere 18 minutes, the technology for analysis of the event was non-existent.

Now 100 years later, we have life support systems for 92 metres below the surface along with all the other technologies as well as brute strength necessary to properly evaluate the circumstances of the disaster.
