Sobre IBD

It was May, 1915, and a German U-boat had the largest passenger ocean liner on the high seas in its sights. This is the tale of two men from Ontario’s Waterloo County who were on that ship. The Lusitania sinking was one of the greatest nautical disasters of all time. Their struggle for survival in the face of great odds would haunt them for the rest of their lives.
