Barbara Kay is a retired high school history teacher who brings famous women from history alive with her first-person portrayals. The Lusitania was a British passenger liner that sailed from New York in 1915. The German Embassy issued a warning NOT to sail on the Lusitania- saying that the Atlantic Ocean was a war zone. Great Britain and Germany were in the second year of World War I. America was neutral, and Americans thought the Germans would NEVER do anything to them. However, they were wrong. A German U-boat sunk the Lusitania with one torpedo. Barbara Kay will portray a passenger from the ship, tell her story and tell the story of the ship and the sinking. A power point presentation will accompany the program.
