American artist Winsor McCay illustrated some 25‘000 drawings showing the RMS Lusitania being struck by two torpedoes fired from a German U-boat. The film was one of many animated silent films published to create anti-German sentiment during World War I and is stylized as a documentary, informing viewers on details from the actual event, but ommitting that the ship transported 50 tons of amunition.
