The collection contains research materials relating to the sinking of the British liner
Lusitania by a German submarine on 7 May 1915. Included are copies of the records of the British official inquiry; the legal proceedings
held by a U.S. Federal
Court; letters from archival sources in Great Britain, Germany, Canada, and the United
States; and a file of letters written in 1934 by Admiral Arno Spindler of the German Navy
to Professor Thomas A. Bailey. Additional files contain correspondence with various
professional and naval technical agencies, individual experts, and John Light, a
professional diver who examined the wreck of the
Lusitania off the coast
of Ireland.
The materials were collected by Professor Thomas A. Bailey, Stanford University, and
Captain Paul B. Ryan, USN (Ret.), in preparation for the publication of their book The
Lusitania Disaster: An Episode in Modern War and Diplomacy.
