When the Lusitania was sunk by a German U-boat in 1915 on her 202nd Atlantic crossing, war was all but inevitable. Who owned the Lusitania ocean liner?

British company Cunard was the owner-operator of the Lusitania, and it was a flagship of their fleet, holding the "Blue Riband appellation for the fastest Atlantic crossing." The Lusitania was launched in 1906 and had 9 years of storied journeys before its tragic sinking, killing nearly 1200 people.
