The wreck of the Lusitania is now owned by a rich American who is constantly battling with the authorities or the courts for diving/reclaim rights. Some artefacts have been brought up over the years rightly or wrongly including one of the ships propellers that is sited near to the Liverpool maritime museum .

But its interesting to note that after the sinking, Royal Navy divers spent the best part of one month working at the wreck site but who knows why? There has always been a dispute over the cargo that the Lusitania was carrying and although we know for certain it was carrying ammunition, the suspicion is that it was carring weapons for the war.
Then there has been further reports that the wreck site is mined. Sounds a bit drastic but intriguing none the less.
