NYC #Lusitania talk 4/30, Courtmacsherry #lusitania100 events #thewanderer100 rescue ship and updates

With the centennial coming up so quickly, it’s been a flurry of updates here, so I’ll try to keep this as brief but informative as possible. For everyone on the East Coast of the United States, here’s an activity update:

New York City – 30 April 2015
