Lusitania

Today is the 98th Anniversary of the sinking of the Lusitania (1915).
I know. I talk about it every year.
But for my family, it's a thing.
Well, I guess, it's really just my dad and me.

Our exchange on the subject this year went something like this:
My text to Mum - Dad's phone doesn't text (I know!!): Tell Dad I'm thinking about conspiracies today...Anniversary of the sinking of the Lusitania.
The reply I got back: Dad says "stay on deck and keep your life jacket handy"
My reply: Aye, Aye! :-)

Yes, we really do point out the anniversaries of the sinking of the largest ships in the world to each other every year. The Titanic and the Lusitania. My dad has a soft spot for the former, myself, the latter. A tragedy to lose both and for two completely different reasons. People romanticize the Titanic, but most don't know much about the Lusitania - unless you are a history buff, a lover of big ships on a conspiracy theorist! The sinking of the Lusitania is shrouded in mystery - even though history books give her only a sentence or two.

ps - yes, I am well aware that I am a dork, a nerd (thanks, Kel!) and a goober.....but more importantly, my father's daughter.
