First Chapter
This vintage postcard depicts a view of the Lusitania, a Cunard-line ship. A fast vessel, Lusitania routinely crossed the Atlantic between New York City and Liverpool (where she was based) between 1907 and 1915. She was Liverpool's "most-famous ship."
NOTICE!
Travellers intending to embark on the Atlantic
voyage are reminded that a state of war exists
between Germany and her allies and Great Britain
and her allies; that the zone of war includes the
waters adjacent to the British Isles; that, in accordance
with formal notice given by the Imperial German
Government, vessels flying the flag of Great
Britain, or any of her allies, are liable to destruction
in those waters and that travelers sailing in the war
zone on ships of Great Britain or her allies do so at
their own risk.Imperial German Embassy
