Lusitania captain's watch goes to Merseyside museum (BBC Article)

[Riley]

I read Colin Simpson’s book about the Lusitania when I was a kid with an odd obsession about sea disasters. I showed my paternal grandfather a picture of Walther Schweiger, and he became furious. This was in the early Seventies.

These things stay with people.

Bit of trivia: The Lusitania, before the war, was struck by a rogue wave in mid-ocean that put water in the bridge. This was a HUGE vessel, so that was a *serious* wave.

I have a pink gold and aquamarine ring that traveled on the Lusitania. It has been in my family “forever”.
