Anyone saw "The Sinking of the Lusitania" ?

Hello,
and if, what did you think of it ?
(I mean the film produced in Great Britain in 2007). I only saw a short part of it yesterday, but it looked interesting - apart from a type VII type U-boat in WWI

Oh, and Happy Christmas to all, and a Happy New Year !

Thanks and greetings,
Catfish

If that's the one I am thinking of, the Discovery Channel showed it back in 2007 I think. It was ok. There were a few inaccuracies, but I don't remember what they were. I think they used the U-boat model and interior that was used in Das Boot. The biggest mistake was what you already mentioned - the Type VII in WWI.

Hello,
someone posted this link about the Lusitania's wreck and what this probably implies:

Quite cynical approach to lure someone into war :hmm:

Not a bad film, but I missed it when it was shown on the BBC in 2007 and watched it on YouTube here http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=1KhqZ1mduNo . The quality on youtube isn't great and it's in several parts but better than nothing if you really want to watch it.

Good program but not I think one to be taken seriously unless you are into conspiracy theories.

The log of the U35 is better the subsim point of view.
