Lusitania Breaks the Speed Record

May 22, the “Lusitania” arrived at New York, having made the Atlantic passage in four days, twenty hours, and twenty-two minutes, breaking the average speed record. Her average speed was 24.83 knots. When her sister ship, the “Mauretania,” reaches a speed of 24.5 knots, the owners will be given the British mail subsidy of $750,000.
