Like the Ryerson family on the TITANIC, rushing home from Paris for the funeral of their son in Philadelphia, the Ryersons on the LUSITANIA were rushing to Europe at the news of the death of one son and the wounding of another on the Killing Fields of Flanders. The first voyage was cut short by an iceberg - the second by a German torpedo. This is their heart-breaking story - much of it "in their own words."
