The final casualty figures were 1201 men, women and children dead out of
a total of 1962 persons onboard.
The official figures of 1959 persons aboard and 1198 dead, obviously do
not include the three Germans who were locked in the most comfortable
cells now at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
To divide the figures again, of the 159 Americans on board, 128 had perished
and of the 129 children aboard the Lusitania, ninety-four perished.
Included in that figure were thirty-one infants out of a total of thirty-five on
board. Only four were saved.
We are grateful to Laura Dillman of uffield, CT., for contacting us.
Laura has recently discovered that there are more surviving passenger lists
for the Lusitania on the Ellis Island website.
(You must register on the site before you can access the material).
Laura was researching a Mr George Hendee, a regular transatlantic traveller,
a snd she found that the fourth entry under his name shows a voyage on
the Lusitania.
There is a link from there to view the passenger list for that voyage.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ONLY PASSENGER LIST KNOWN TO EXIST
IN ENGLAND IS THAT FOR THE FINAL VOYAGE.
