The title card on this brief, undated, silent film clip states: “New York—The steamer ‘Lusitania’ has entered our port.”
Obviously shot on a cold winter morning, Lusitania is blanketed in frost and draped in clouds of smoke and steam, giving her a dreamy, other-world-like appearance.
The ghostly Lusitania steams slowly toward us, 100 years later, as if she has something to tell us.
What is it?
We know.
