EVENTS:
1906 Clydebank Scotland – The liner RMS Lusitania was launched and christened at the John Brown & Co Ltd, shipyard. After being torpedoed by a German submarine 19 km off the coast of Ireland on 7 May 1915, she sank in eighteen minutes, with the loss of 1,198 of the 1,959 people aboard. The sinking of this vessel resulted in America’s entry into World War 1.
1962 Bellerive, Tasmania – Plans for an American-style, ultra-modern, drive-in shopping centre were announced by the General Manager of an investing insurance company. Estimated to cost £500,000, construction of the shopping centre, to be known as Rosny Regional, was scheduled to begin on 14 acres (5.6 HA) of land purchased from the Rosny Golf Club late the following year. +
1968 Wellington, New Zealand – The New Zealand Government sent a protest to France over continuing French atmospheric nuclear testing in the Pacific Ocean.
