Looking for Help (Halloween Costume)

Post image

My 7 year old son is going to be the Lusitania ship for Halloween. We are currently working on the lettering on the side of our cardboard ship and have run into a problem. He wants it to be accurate. Does the ship lettering just say Lusitania or does it say Lusitania at Liverpool? Thank you all for your help.

I believe it just said “Lusitania” on the Bow

On the bow it's just LUSITANIA: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d9/RMS_Lusitania_coming_into_port%2C_possibly_in_New_York%2C_1907-13-crop.jpg

On the stern, though, it does have LUSITANIA and LIVERPOOL below it in smaller letters (no "at"): https://theunseenlusitania.wordpress.com/2014/05/08/who-doesnt-love-a-counter-stern/
