Michelangelo

Michelangelo was distinguished by two unusual features: her graceful hull and unique funnels. Research aimed at ensuring smoke and grit fell clear of the decks led to this peculiar funnel shape.

Lusitania

Lusitania held the Blue Riband a number of times, notably in 1907. The ship was torpedoed and sunk by a German U-20 on May 7, 1915, on her 202nd crossing of the Atlantic Ocean. The incident played a role in the United States' entry into World War I on April 17, 1917. President of the United States Woodrow Wilson officially promised to keep the US out of the war, but the sinking of the ship and Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare provided some justification for the later entry of the U.S. into the war.
