Frequently Asked
Questions
- Family histories tell me that I had
a relative aboard the Lusitania's
last voyage. Why can't I find him/her on the passenger or crew
lists?
- I had a relative who crossed on one of the Lusitania's previous voyages.
How do I find the passenger manifest from that crossing?
A: I recommend either
www.ellisisland.org
(where you can search by your relative's name) or www.immigrantships.net
(search by ship)
- I had a relative who was a crew member on one of the Lusitania's previous voyages.
How do I find the crew manifest from that crossing?
A: Unfortunately, I
don't know the answer to this one. Maybe someone more
knowledgable in this area can point out the way?
- How many people died when the Lusitania sank?
- How many Lusitania
survivors are still alive today?
A: Two known
survivors are still living today, Barbara McDermott (née
Anderson), second cabin passenger, and Audrey Lawson-Johnston
(née Pearl), saloon class passenger. It is possible that
more survivors could still be living, as no one seems to know what
happened to Eileen Fish, Marion Fish, or Helen Smith.
- There's a lot of information on [insert name here] that's readily
available. Why don't you have his/her biography up yet?
A: I'm getting to it,
I'm getting to it. It'll be up someday. Really.
