Empress of ireland/ Lusitania
Right this week i've been working on Liverpool's maritime museum considering that it's only down the road from me i'm embarrassed to say it's the first time i've had a look around and now i'll have to go back because i couldn't spend as much time as i like (bloody work ) Anyway i was reading about the Lusitania and the Empress of Ireland has anyone here dove them? the Lusitania is out of my depth range at the moment but at 48m the EoI is well within reach these are wrecks that have gotten my head spinning with the history behind them. So has anyone done them what was the organizing/ Logistics like? etc.

Oh and if anyone gets chance i highly recommend the museum very interesting place

Still trying to get my head around you in a museum, in daylight
Great history about the Empress and a horrific story.no idea on logistics but you aint getting a RHIB from Anglesey , thats for sure.
How true is it about the museums on your doorstep though, funny I ve been to the Maritime one in Liverpool a couple of times and yet until recently hadn t ventured into the War Museum North(which is also a revelation BTW)
and its only a ten minute walk

If you want to know all about the diving on the Lusitania get yourself a copy of the Lusitania Controversies part one and part two by Gary Gentile.
I've just been reading about those on tinternet may try and pick them up i'm going to concentrate on the Empress for now as it's more accessible so dark descent it is anyone have a copy they want to flog

OK, so its LOS, Sparky and me diving the Lusitania, and Ken is wimping out.

So, shall the rest of YD take bets on which of us if any return alive, and if we do get back alive, who will be arrested before getting back home
