Taken from the Forecastle Deck, looking astern toward the Bridge, this photo shows the ship's clean lines. Atop the Bridge is another canvas shade support.
The photograph seen here was taken from the top of the staircase leading from the port Boat Deck up to the Sun Deck near the Marconi Shack. Looking forward, we see the forward quadrant of lifeboats - the aft one of which has had its cover removed.
The photograph seen here was taken from atop the Aft Docking Bridge, looking forward, and shows beautifully typical deck life while "at sea".
A photograph taken from the aft portion of the Second Class Boat Deck, overlooking the stern and the ship's marvelous wake. The structure extending over the Shelter Deck is a canvas support, built to give passengers shade during especially hot crossings in the summertime.
This photograph was also taken along the Sun Deck, or "top of the house". It was taken forward of the No. 2 funnel, looking aft along the port side.
This photograph originally appeared in The Electrician in 1910, and shows the Marconi set of the Lusitania. She had a 1 1/2 kw set when she originally entered service, and could not maintain contact with shore at all times during her voyage.
A much clearer photograph taken in the Marconi Shack of the Lusitania in 1915, the year of her loss.
