Has anyone done a TL about the Lusitania being stopped from sailing by the US government because war material was reported loaded on the ship in violation of the rules of war?

Could Irish longshoremen have reported to the German Embassy loading war materials onto the Lusitania and the German Ambassador asking the State Department to forbid the sailing of the ship?

Would/Could the US legally prevent the sailing to the ship?

If the sailing is stopped, what effect would that have on British/American relations, also would it have affected German/American relations?

Thanks,
