  • Sinking of the RMS Lusitania 1 Sinking of the RMS Lusitania
    Sinking of the RMS Lusitania 1 Sinking of the RMS Lusitania Sinking of the RMS Lusitania 1915 painting of the sinking. Date 7 May 1915 Time 14:10 – 14:28 Location North Atlantic Ocean, near Old Head of Kinsale, Ireland Cause Torpedoed by German U-boat. Outcome • 1,198 of the 1,959 people aboard killed, leaving 761 survivors. • Turned international opinion against Germany and led towards American entry into World War I. The sinking of the Cunard ocean liner RMS Lusitania occurred on 7 May 1915 during the First World War, as Germany waged submarine warfare against Britain. The ship was identified and torpedoed by the German U-boat U-20 and sank in 18 minutes. The vessel went down 11 miles (18 km) off the Old Head of Kinsale,[1] Ireland, killing 1,198 of the 1,959 people aboard, leaving 761 survivors. The sinking turned public opinion in many countries against Germany, contributed to the American entry into World War I and became an iconic symbol in military recruiting campaigns of why the war was being fought.[2] Lusitania had the misfortune to fall victim to torpedo attack relatively early in the First World War, before tactics for evading submarines were properly implemented or understood. The contemporary investigations both in the UK and the United States into the precise causes of the ship's loss were obstructed by the needs of wartime secrecy and a propaganda campaign to ensure all blame fell upon Germany. Argument over whether the ship was a legitimate military target raged back and forth throughout the war as both sides made misleading claims about the ship.

  • Chapter About Alfred Vanderbilt Racing Cars for a Historical Biography
    BOOK: HISTORICAL FICTION June 2008 The Unlikely Heir: A Biography of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt Jr. by Jan Manon for Steve Gittelman & The Vanderbilt Museum EXECUTIVE SUMMARY is is an excerpt from the historical ction novel Steve Gittelman hired Jan Manon to ghostwrite in 2008 about Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, the unexpected heir to the railroad fortune of the esty Commodore, Cornelius Vanderbilt. Writing this book was a labor of love. Steve provided Jan with copious amounts of background information. Research also included a trip to a horse competition in western Pennsylvania to meet an English judge who loved Arabian greys as much as Alfred Vanderbilt and a visit to the New York Public Library archives to view photographs of Alfred and his companion, Agnes Ruiz before his death aboard the Lusitania. * Attached below is Chapter 6. e book is written from a third-person point of view. CHAPTER 6: A SERPENTINE CURVE: A FAILURE TO STOP As they approached the dreaded curve, A.G. held on to his seat for dear life as his reckless Italian chauffeur Paul Sartori, veered the ninety horsepower Fiat1 at full throttle round the Mineola section of the course.2 Harder and harder Sartori pushed, trying to reach the outer rim of the course to gain ascension, racking up the speed on the hard turns at a swift ninety miles per hour.3 It was a trial run but the duo did not hold back and Sartori, instead of letting up, slammed down on the gas pedal, until the very last thirty yards before the Serpentine curve at Albertson Station,4 when he suddenly slapped the brakes down.

  • The True Story of Annie Kelly
    The True Story of Annie Kelly Michael A Martin and James M Farrell How did a nineteen year old girl from Galway come to lose her life aboard the RMS Lusitania when it was torpedoed off the Old Head of Kinsale on the 7th May 1915. Family Background Annie Kelly was born in the townland of Newgrove, beside the village of Newbridge in County Galway on 27th September 1895. One of a family of twelve children she had six brothers and five sisters. She was the ninth child of John Francis Kelly and Margaret Brannelly. They had married in Ballygar on 3rd February 1876.There were four older brothers and then four older sisters in the family before she was born. John Francis Kelly (1853-1905) was a son of Matthew Kelly (1804-1894) and Catherine Hynes (1820-1886). At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (1855) Matthew Kelly was not an occupier of any holding in Newgrove. Marcella and John Gerrard were the landlords who had been responsible for the eviction of tenants in nearby Ballinlass and other townlands in pursuit of a policy of clearing their estate of tenants to make way for grazing livestock. Following the death of Marcella Gerrard in November 1865 the estate was eventually divided among three inheritors in 1867 after protracted legal proceedings. One of these was John Fallon who donated the land on which Newbridge Church was built. Matthew Kelly had obtained a tenancy in Newgrove from John Fallon not later than1872. It appears that Matthew Kelly was a tenant of Denis H Kelly of Aughrane Castle in Killeroran at the time of Griffith’s Valuation but this holding was transferred to a Daniel Clarke in 1862.
