Passage to Liverpool
Passage to Liverpool is the story of the RMS Lusitania, one of the grandest
luxury passenger ships of a bygone era. It is the story of its sinking in the first
year of war in Europe, and of how that sinking contributed to the U.S. entry
into the war, turning it into a World War I. It is also the story of an Erie area
man who was an accidental passenger aboard the Lusitania.
