The Lusitania was a British vessel owned by the Cunard Shipping Co.
It was built by the John Brown shipyard at Clydebank in Glasgow, Scotland and launched on June 7th 1906.
Her maiden voyage took place on &th September 1907 from Liverpool to NewYork via Queenstown( Southern Ireland)
On her 2nd voyage she took the Blue Riband with a crossing of 4 dats, 19 hrs and 52 mins.
If you require any more info about Cunard ships you are talking to an expert. Please ask!

I do hope these replies helped, Yafa...always nice to get an acknowledgement...?

Apparently a man in a huge Rolls Royce once pulled into a little petrol (gas ) station in rural Ireland and said to the awed attendant, "fill her up, my good man, please, 30 gallons." The attendant said, "You must have a powerful good job to afford a car like that, now, Sir." " I work for Cunard," replied the man. "Oi should think you have to," answered the attendant.
