Chances are Lusitania will not be raised says author
London Aug 26 Associated Press reports David Masters author of a salvage book says the Lusitania likely remains at 288 feet deep off Ireland. The ship’s collapse under pressure long ago, plus the Miner's 80 ton safe, makes recovery unlikely despite many schemes. An American submarine plan using torpedoes and cables is considered impractical. Lusitania likely stays where she sank over nine years ago.
