[edit] "American liner"

Wasn't the HMS Lusitania a British liner that Americans happened to be on?

It was British. It is also not HMS, but RMS. Fixed.

One thing I don't see discussed is that the British established a distance blockade, which I understand was illegal ( Hague conventions ). Also the list of items declared "contraband" by the English exceeded normal usage ( foodstuffs and other non-military items ). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.197.181.149 (talk) 20:36, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
