Message: [QUOTE="Mark Baber, post: 46830, member: 79063"] [i]The New York Times, 27 September 1907[/i] [b]THE LUSITANIA ARRIVES[/b] --- Is at Queenstown After 5 Days 4 Hours 19 Minutes --- QUEENSTOWN, Friday, Sept 27---The Lusitania arrived here at 3 A. M. to-day, having made the run from New York in 5 days 4 hours and 19 minutes. Her average speed was 22 5/8 knots. ----- By Wireless Telegraph and Cable from THE TIMES's Correspondent --- ABOARD THE LUSITANIA, Thursday, Sept. 26---Capt. Watt authorizes me to publish the following statement: "The Lusitania, according to our calculation, made this evening, will arrive at the Daunt Rock light vessel at Queenstown at 3 o'clock Friday morning, after a passage of five days three hours and twenty-three minutes from Sandy Hook, at an average hourly speed of 22.75 knots over a total distance of 2,807 miles. "The best previous record for the course is that of the Lucania, in 1894, of five days, seven hours and twenty-three minutes. "Our maiden homeward passage has been satisfactory in every respect. The machinery has behaved magnificently throughout, and has performed its full duty without a single flaw. "We know from our trial trip that the Lusitania has it in her to do 26.75 knots, and we confidently expect her to execute a similar performance across the Atlantic when the right time comes. "We attempted no record on our maiden voyages except the record of landing our passengers safe and happy." ----- CROOKHAVEN, Sept 26---In a wireless message received here to-night from the steamer Lusitania she was going 23 knots an hour and Bull Rock was in sight. The night was clear, the sea smooth, and the wind light fro the east. --- BROWHEAD, Friday, Sept. 27---The steamer Lusitania passed here at 1:20 this morning. She has still seventy miles to go to Queenstown. -30- [/QUOTE]
