Ryersons on the Lusitania Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
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.

The mirror tells me I'm a grandmother.....but the real me drives a hot little red sports car! I've been fascinated with family history for over 50 years.....have written magazine articles, stories for historical journals, 20 or more family genealogies.......and when I discovered that 3 'cousins' in my husbands family were lost on 3 famous ship tragedies (Titanic-Lusitania-Ercolano), I knew I had to record those stories in book form. At last....all three are now available on amazon.com. It was important that these stories be told.

I think I'm done writing family history books.....but who knows what incredible stories there are yet to be discovered!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent biography of tragic family with Lusitania/Titanic connections
Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2012
This book is the second of a three part shipwreck series. The first, Rich Men Poor Men, chronicled the fates of the Ryerson family and their Titanic story. Now we have the Ryersons who sailed on the Lusitania's final, fatal voyage.

The author, Phyllis Ryerse, masterfully weaves a tale of sorrow as Mary Amelia Ryerson and her daughter Laura board the ship to join an injured son and brother overseas and to mourn the loss of another son and brother killed in action. While aboard, they meet up with friends Leonard McMurray, a survivor of the White Star Line Republic sinking, and Reginald Lockhart whose son also recently died. It was assumed by the Ryerson ladies that the Lusitania was the safest and fastest ship to take, as Col. George Ryerson had just traveled aboard the same liner and assured them of its invincibility. When the torpedo strikes, one person in this quartet will not survive. And another will suffer the effects of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome for the rest of their lives.

Generously illustrated with family photos and Lusitania-related items, readers looking for an intimate story of the shipwreck should buy this book.
