It was torpedoed and sank during Operation Hannibal by a Soviet submarine and resulted in the deaths of over 9,400 of its passengers. To date, it is the worst maritime sea disaster in recorded history. </p>http://lost-liners.tumblr.com/post/4384694749http://lost-liners.tumblr.com/post/4384694749Wed, 06 Apr 2011 01:25:45 -0400vintageWilhelm Gustloff<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lh4ucbPfrr1qh6cgwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Although smaller than the Olympic Class liners, the <em>Lusitania</em> boasted luxury on par with that of the White Star Line vessels. The First Class Dining Saloon, for instance, took up three decks, with two being the dining room itself and the third deck accommodating a plaster dome in the Louis XVI style. </p>http://lost-liners.tumblr.com/post/3485540910http://lost-liners.tumblr.com/post/3485540910Thu, 24 Feb 2011 12:39:00 -0500LusitaniaVintageCunard Line<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lh4u3vv4g41qh6cgwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://lost-liners.tumblr.com/post/3485539392http://lost-liners.tumblr.com/post/3485539392Thu, 24 Feb 2011 12:38:59 -0500LusitaniaPaintingArtken marschall<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lh4mw0mQq41qh6cgwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The design of the First Class Grand Staircase aboard the <em>Britannic</em> differed from the previously used design found on <em>Olympic </em>and <em>Titanic</em>. The aft portion of the staircase lacked the Boat Deck level balcony that overlooked the A-Deck landing, instead, plans for a Welte Philharmonic Organ to be installed were made but were ultimately abandoned once <em>Britannic</em> was commissioned for use in WWI. </p>http://lost-liners.tumblr.com/post/3483566125http://lost-liners.tumblr.com/post/3483566125Thu, 24 Feb 2011 09:58:16 -0500BritannicArtWhite Star Line<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lh4mmq38Uv1qh6cgwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The First Class Grand Staircase aboard <em>Britannic</em>.
