( Hello Wesley,I started this tree then haven't done anything for a while. I know that my father's side of the family is originally from somewhere in Ireland but i came to a bit of a dead end. The furthest I have managed to trace back is to my Great Grandfather, he was called John Henry Monaghan and lived in hull sometime around the turn of the century he had a son who was my grandfather John Henry Wilson Monaghan who was born in Sutton Bilston Hull 1919. I am very keen to trace my roots back to Ireland but have come accross this stumbling block, I can't seem to find any more info on my Great Grandfather. Im not sure if he was born after the 1901 census or not.Hope this helps its a long shot but im hopefull too.Kind RegardsBen 753 Blackiston St, West Fleetwood)
Lusitania was launched on 7 June 1906 and entered service for Cunard on 26 August 1907. When she entered service, Lusitania set the records for the largest and fastest ship afloat, taking these records from the ships of the United Kingdom’s naval rival, Germany. Lusitania maintained these records until the entry of her twin sister Mauretania into the North Atlantic run. Lusitania, Mauretania, and slower but larger Aquitania provided a weekly passenger service for the Cunard Line just prior to the First World War.
During World War I, Germany waged submarine warfare against the United Kingdom. Lusitania, which had been built with the capability of being converted into a warship, was identified as a target. The German submarine U-20 torpedoed and sank her on 7 May 1915; this was early in the war before tactics for evading submarines were fully developed. The ship suffered two explosions, the second one which could never fully be explained, and sank in 18 minutes. The Lusitania disaster killed 1,192 of the 1,960 known people on board, leaving 768 survivors. Four of these survivors died soon afterwards of trauma sustained from the sinking, bringing the final death toll to 1,196.
The sinking turned public opinion against Germany, particularly those in Ireland and the then-neutral United States.
