Description: The Memorial Garden at the Lusitania Museum & Signal Tower, Old Head, Kinsale, Ireland. The Cunard passenger liner, RMS Lusitania, bound for Liverpool from New York, sank 12 miles (20 km) away, off the Old Head (the Old Head lighthouse can be seen in the photo at the top right), on 7 May 1915 after being torpedoed by a German U-boat during the First World War. 1198 of the ship's 1959 passengers and crew perished. The ruins of de Courcey castle can be seen in the middle-distance.
