This is now fixed and on the main page of the site. We Irish are not British. Sincerely, James Francis Molloy. This site uses the citizenship of the passengers and crew as of and does not project modern borders and citizenship back in time. In , Ireland was not yet independent. People from all of the above listed, modern-day countries would have been carrying British passports in My great-grandfather was a fireman on the Lusitania, and was lost when she sank. Of course, it is entirely possible that there was a Michael McAdam and a William McAdam, both firemen, both lost, but it does seem unlikely.
My grandfather is recognised as being on the Lusitania on the voyage, and is listed on Tower Hill memorial as William for this precise reason. My grandfather was never known as Michael, to my knowledge. I was hoping you might look in to this, and make the addition or alteration as you deem appropriate?
Thank you! Could you mean the millionaire Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt — ? It is said that he gave away his lifebelt to I think a lady or to strap a baby in to a wicker chair, though he himself could not swim.
His name was Patrick Ryan from Limerick ireland. Could you look this up please , other wise a facinating page. Patrick Daly. How many Canadians went down with the ship or were they listed as British citizens grrrr I know of one Canadian who went down with her but survived to tell the tale.

I must offer you my thanks for providing this list.
Was on board the Lusitania with her Granddaughter Maria. According to my Grandmother and the family Bible Charlotte was aged 97 years old and Maria was 3 or 4 years old. Charlotte Louisa ?

My Email Address is margaretsilva bigpond. William Thomas Smith in fact was not supposed to be on the manifest.
He was moved over that morning to the sister ship Mauretania to take over for an engineer who had taken ill. My husband has a photo of his Grandfather and mates on the Lusitania , taken sometime prior to the ships departure on that fateful trip. Thank you. Thank you for your efforts to inform people of the souls lost. You have done a remarkable job even though a few errors have occurred.
What an effort and some learning such as the Irish are a testy lot and certainly not British and the Canadians were called British until a certain year. You must log in to post a comment. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

Three years later, Marconi would narrowly escape another famous maritime disaster. He was on board the Lusitania in April on the voyage immediately before it was sunk by a German U-boat in May.

He was reportedly booked on the maiden voyage but instead remained at the French resort of Aix to enjoy his morning massages and sulfur baths.
It is that frightful death. The Pittsburgh steel baron was a business associate of fellow non-passenger J. He canceled his passage on the Titanic when his wife sprained her ankle and had to be hospitalized in Italy. The year-old multimillionaire sportsman, an heir to the Vanderbilt shipping and railroad empire, was returning from a trip to Europe and canceled his passage on the Titanic so late that some early newspaper accounts listed him as being on board.
Vanderbilt lived on to become one the most celebrated casualties of the Lusitania sinking three years later.
