She sank phenomenally rapidly for a ship of her size (about eighteen minutes) but there were indeed survivors. Among them, Captain Turner, who testified at the inquiry on her loss.
That jumped out at me, too.

There is this Irish Bar called O'Dowd's in Kansas City. When ever I go there I always get wreaked.......

Professor Ian S. Holbourn, the Laird of Foula (Shetland Isle, Scotland...along with many other wet and injured survivors, was amongst the first of the 774 rescued to arrive at Queenstown that night.From Wikipedia, FWIW

And about 1200 lost on Lucy's last voyage, IIRC.

I had recalled there being some survivors, and one minute with Googol confirms this. A death toll around 1200 is probably correct. If anyone wants to dig into this seriously, ping me with results.

It's very deep there, I suppose, so most of them will never be researched.

There were about 700 Lusitania survivors, similar to the number who survived the Titanic.

Find the wreck that had the Guiness. Briliant!

Not very deep, there was once a land bridge between Britain and Ireland during the Ice Age.
