This British vessel, with American citizens on it, was sunk by a German U-Boat and resulted in the death of over 100 Americans.

Despite Woodrow Wilson warning the Germans about this use of unrestricted submarine warfare, the Germans used it multiple times on US ships that were trading in what was considered a war zone.
