As the editor I am an avid supporter of having multiple sources in any instance of research.  Even though there are not very many Lusitania sites on the web, I do not feel that this site needs to be the be-all-end-all site on the Lusitania.  Even though I plan to continue to expand this site's content (whether or not I will get beyond something as exhaustive as the biographies of the Lusitania's passengers and crew, we'll have to see), I whole-heartedly support the developments of other Lusitania websites, especially ones that may include whatever I have missed here.  Other topics worthy for fellow Lusitania fans to pick up, should they want to build their own Lusitania site, would be the politics behind the sinking, virtual tours, the nature of the second explosion, etc.  Should you launch such another Lusitania site on the Internet, let's do swap links  =:).

During the time of the Lusitania, Cunard termed first class "saloon class" and termed second class "second cabin" on their ships.  This site follows the nomenclature of the times for the passenger manifests, passenger lists, whatever you wish to call them.

The site is optimized for screen resolution of 800x600 or greater.  If the resolution is smaller, the crew lists will not display correctly.

The list contains the names of four people who died soon after the disaster, one came on the official list of dead, but died later than the other three, so all four on the lists are saved.

• Clarke, Mr. Alfred Russell, died on 20 June 1915
• McKetchan, Master Campbell, died on 15 September 1915 (He was on the official list among the victims)    
• Plank, Mrs. Harriet, died on 31 July 1915
• Knight, Mr. Charles, died of blood poisoning ten days after the disaster

• Newlywed nationalities are listed as to where man and wife were from before their marriage.   Therefore, Leslie Mason would be listed as American even though her husband Stewart was English. 
  
• If there is insufficient information for all members of a family, that information will usually fall under the biographical entry for the patriarch.

Both are, admittedly, imperfect systems, but I don't know what else to do at this point.
