horatio2 Posted 1 May , 2015 Share Posted 1 May , 2015 Her deck logs from Nov 1914 to Sep 1915 (transcribed here: http://www.naval-history.net/OWShips-WW1-02-HMS_Princess_Royal.htm ), during which period she crossed the Atlantic, do not mention LUSITANIA.

Theletterwriter Posted 2 May , 2015 Share Posted 2 May , 2015 I may be "havering" but I seem to remember seeing a photograph of what was purported to be HMS Indefatigable pictured in front of the Lusitania. Unfortunately, I cannot remember where or when. Big help!! Douglas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikB Posted 6 May , 2015 Share Posted 6 May , 2015 Wow, it just goes to show the size and scale of the liner..............brilliant image!. Yes, but even less heavily-armoured warships like battlecruisers are much denser in weight per unit volume than a cockleshell liner...
