  1. I would like to know more about about M/s McGuigan and O’Hare referred to above. I am researching Stephen O’Hare, also from Newry Co. Down, a merchant seaman lost at sea about that time.
    P. J. Bradley

    • Hello,

      The only information on Messrs. McGuigan and O’Hare I have is what is published on this page. In turn, this information came from Senan Molony’s Lusitania: An Irish Tragedy, pages 95 and 96, where the same information is given.

  3. I believe that my grandfather William Ellis Ballard was a surviving crew member (fireman/greaser) but are unable to find any record of this.
    Can you help ?

  4. Please note my great-grandfather Patrick Moran, a fireman (a) survived the sinking (b) was an Irish citizen and (c) resided at Errew, Castlebar, Co.Mayo, Ireland.

    It appears that a James Moran has been inadvertently given a residence at the same address but no one of that name lived here and this gentleman was no relation of Patrick.

  6. mijn grootvader was als enige belg te werk gesteld als trimmer op de lusitanie en overleefde de ramp.
    Naar ik hoorde vertellen was de bemanning uitbetaald voor vertrek en waren ze dus al hun waarschijnlijk schamele bezittingen kwijt,zijn naam was volgens de bemanningslijst malfiat chef,maar zijn juiste naam malfait jozef of jef,Nu is mijn vraag bestaan er foto’s of nederlandstalige boeken over de ramp.Mijn grootvader was in belgie binnenschipper en was door de oorlog met zijn gezin naar groot bretagne gevlucht,hij was haast niet geschoold ,graag hadden we wat meer geweten ,soms vertelde hij wat vreselijke dingen die daar bij de redding gebeurde maar dan moest hij van mijn vader daar over zwijgen ,een ding weet ik nog zeer goed dat was zijn gelaat dat vol zwarte putjes zat ,dat was een gevolg van de ontploffing en de brand

  8. My grandfathers cousins husband perished on RMS Lusitania. His name was William McAdam and he was a Fireman. He was born 17th March 1871 in Bridgeton, Glasgow. He was married to Julia Ann McCraith of Liverpool. I think he has mistakenly been listed as Michael McAdam.

  13. My mum dad was Henry Bowen brother who was a fireman on the lusatania. his body was never found.His name as all who lost their lives are on the Tower Hill Memorial.

  14. My aunt’s father, Robert Howat was an Engineer on the Lusitania when she sank and survived. I can find no record of his name in the list of crew or survivors. How comprehensive are the “official” lists? Can you offer any help in finding a record of Robert Howat?

  16. Survived Stephen Rice listed as a fireman was from Jonesborough in Co Armagh. Interesting to see how many crew were from the Co Armagh/ co Louth area

  17. My late grandads first memory as a child is his mother or grand mother?? weeping in her bedroom when the Lucitania went down she had lost her brother…His name was either Kirk or Cartie it may have been Kartie… Any clues..?

  18. My great grandfather was Patrick cases fireman who drown an is buried in the mass crave in cobn cove I have no other information as my grandmother his daughter was bomb three times and lost all the family records I would love to find his service record so I could find out where he was born in Ireland could any one help thanks in anticipation

  21. Was it a mistake that 2 John Farrell’s were listed as survivors from engineering (firemen)?
    Could these Farrell’s be related? I may be related to one John Farrell through my uncle Henry Farrell.

  22. Hi there. Can anyone help me with my wife’s family? Looking for any info of a young boy that died on the Lusitania or where I can get some info he was a trimmer . His name is john Thompson from Liverpool … Cheers j .c.

  23. My father always told us that we had a relative who was on the Lusitania when it was sunk. We were a Liverpool seafaring family but I didn’t really give it much credence. After visiting the Maritime Museum from Cumbria I decided to look here. Surprisingly there was a ‘trimmer’ called Edward Powell – the same name as my father. Something to check into if/when I do a family tree.

  24. You say this ship was sunk in may 1915, but i have my grandfathers log book that shows he was serving on it in july, august and September 1915. If you wish i can send you a copy of his log book page!
