The Sinking of the Lusitania (1918), by animation pioneer Winsor McCay (Little Nemo, Dream of the Rarebit Fiend).In 1915, during the First World War, a German U-boat torpedoed the Cunard ocean liner RMS Lusitania, killing some 1,200 people. The attack caused outrage worldwide and was one of the factors that pushed the US into entering the war.Very smooth, fluid animation–after nearly 100 years, it’s still a pretty impressive piece of work. -- source link
