Lusitania history holder Gregg Bemis owns famed ship relic
A fragment of history sits with Gregg Bemis as owner since 1968. The Lusitania lies 300 feet under off Ireland's coast after a German torpedo sank it 100 years ago this Thursday. The wreck holds 4 million U.S. made rifle bullets and other munitions shipped to wartime Britain. The piece reflects a complex wartime fate and often overstates its influence on world events. Churchill and others pondered provoking U.S. entry into the war, while submarine warfare and naval strategy shaped the catastrophe and the later neutrality shift.
