I’d like to remember the Lusitania as she was, when everyone was excited to see the world’s newest largest and fastest liner. These photos today are from the Library of Congress. The photo above is titled: “RMS Lusitania, New York City, September 1907, stern-side view, during maiden voyage, with a large crowd of men, in foreground, standing on top of barrels.” It’s hard to tell where in New York City this was taken. If you know, please write in the comments. The above photo is titled: “The Lusitania at end of record voyage.” Is this what Manhattan’s Pier 54 looked like in 1907? The pier looks very different now, but you can see the tracks on the right, where the High Line is today. Where the ship is is now the funny little island park. This photo is merely titled: “Lusitania.” It’s interesting to see the color scale above and below the picture used to make sure the picture was developed correctly. This one, also just called “Lusitania,” may have been previously published here (or not). I just remember the crease in the middle. Though AI technology could fix that crease now. Interestingly, this one, titled “Mauretania” is the same image, flipped. It probably takes someone who knows ocean liners (and not a general archivist) to be able to tell that they recycled a picture, as seen often with the Olympic andRead more118 Maiden Voyage Anniversary
