A specific, datable voyage (sailing from Montreal on the Lusitania to witness George V's coronation, pinned to 1911 by the ship's service dates and the coronation date) not covered by any existing 1911-window event (#934 concerns a Guillaume photograph, unrelated). Exact sailing day not recoverable,

Derived from dated newspaper clipping(s): media:1620; media:1670. Curated 2026-08-17 against the existing event set; not independently re-verified against a primary source.

A further clipping on this sailing (node:4278, media:1652) disagrees with this record on two points, and neither has been resolved. It is headed 'GOING TO EUROPE — Walter Lanyon Sailed Today from New York — Lives in Chicago' and states in its text that he 'sailed today from New York city', naming his parents as Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Lanyon of South Main street. That is NEW YORK, not Montreal — and the Lusitania, the ship named in this record, was a Cunard express liner on the New York-Liverpool service that did not sail from Montreal, so the ship and the port recorded here do not fit each other while the ship and this clipping do. Second, it gives the purpose as visiting relatives for the summer, adding that he 'has always been anxious to visit Europe' and 'will probably touch most of the countries of the continent', with no mention of the coronation; the return notice (hist_event 20154) likewise has him visiting relatives in London, Cornwall and Essex and wintering in Paris with the American Express Company before sailing home on the Celtic on 6 June 1912. The coronation may have fallen within the visit without being its occasion. The Lusitania's 1911 sailing lists would settle both points.
