Shipwreck research

 

One final shipwreck for you to explore – this time it’s the RMS Lusitania. This is a very famous sinking that took place during World War One.

Your task is to produce some research on this ship – this could be handwritten, a Word Document, a Publisher leaflet, a PowerPoint – YOU decide. We’d love to see your research when you’re done.

These links will get you started:

Who’s to Blame? Who do you blame for the sinking of the Titanic? Who is the most responsible? We would like a paragraph from you fully explaining your reasons. Was it:

  • Captain Smith
  • Thomas Andrews / Harland and Wolff
  • Bruce Ismay / White Star Line
  • The Californian
  • The radio operators

You must make your mind up – no sitting on the fence (you might get a splinter!!)
