Continuing drawing ships. Lusitania and Mauretania
You can say "Aquitania is also in Lusitania-class!", but I didn't find any information about "Lusitania-class" existence, and Aquitania just does not fit in this ship-mold

So I came across a Facebook page all about the Cunard Liners and similar Ocean Liners. But when I saw these photos I instantly thought "bullshit!" No way are 1911ish photographs, even if retouched and colorized, looking that damn good! So I went hunting for the photos myself. At once I discovered that, although they are all black & white pictures, the resolution and quality of lines is freaking unbelievably outstanding! So, yes, those are pictures of the Cunard Liners. That's really the bow of RMS Titanic looking like something out of the Leonardo DiCaprio Hollywood film! And I ask, why in the early 1920ish could they produce pictures this good, but in the 1940s, two decades later, photos of the various warships involved in the second world war are total crap! Poor resolution. If color at all, it's flawed in one or more of the many ways film can be effected by, pretty much everything! It's a conspiracy!! Lol jk馃槄

So I only learned recently that the RMS Carpathia was sunk by a German torpedo during WW1. Even more eerie is that she sank the exact same day that the Romanovs were murdered, July 17th, 1918. They鈥檝e found her wreck off of the cost of Ireland, but no one has done a deep dive to investigate her since she was found in 2000. She鈥檚 only 500 feet under, so she鈥檚 easy to access鈥omeone needs to start that mission!
