Lot Description  

Vintage c. 1915 photograph of the doomed ocean liner "RMS Lusitania" as it sat docked at Chelsea Pier in New York set to launch into history. While the photo needs more research, it is highly likely that this was from the 1915 voyage that ended in her sinking off the coast of Europe. An exceptional piece of maritime photography, this is only the second original image of the Lusitania we have ever offered! While this is a 1928 re-strike, it is off the original negative and is beautiful.
