UNITED STATES:, AE medal (72.87g), 1918, Unc, 54mm bronze medal on the Sinking of the Lusitania by R. Baudichon, partial figure of the Statue of Liberty above the waves and holding sword upright with VLTRIX AMERICA JVRIS - 1917 - U.S.A - 1918 around // shipwreck scene of the Lusitania sinking with capsized lifeboat in foreground and child drowning in cartouche above with LUSITANIA MAY.7.1915 around, BRONZE with cornucopia privy mark on edge. RMS Lusitania (named after the Roman province in Western Europe corresponding to modern Portugal) was a British ocean liner that was launched by the Cunard Line in 1906 and that held the Blue Riband appellation for the fastest Atlantic crossing in 1908. It was briefly the world's largest passenger ship until the completion of the Mauretania three months later. She was sunk on her 202nd trans-Atlantic crossing, on 7 May 1915, by a German U-boat 11 miles (18 km) off the southern coast of Ireland, killing 1,198 passengers and crew. The sinking occurred about two years before the United States declaration of war on Germany. Although the Lusitania's sinking was a major factor in building American support for war, war was eventually declared only after the Imperial German Government resumed the use of unrestricted submarine warfare against American shipping in an attempt to break the Transatlantic supply chain from the US to Britain.
