=Lusitania=
 * On May 7th 1915, U-20 sank the liner RMS Lusitania with a single torpedo hit. The German submarine sunk the ship and it ended up killing about 1,200 passengers. Out of the 1,200 lives lost were 128 Americans. On May 1st the ship departed from New York City to Liverpool. Almost all of the hidden cargo consisted of munitions, and contraband designed for the British war effort. They thought that she could withstand any submarine because of her luxurious liner. At 2:10 p.m. the submarine fired a torpedo at her side, but a second mysterious second explosion ripped her liner apart. The ship was listed so badly that the lifeboats crashed into passengers on deck, and dumped their loads into the water. Most of the passengers never had a chance. Within 18 minutes the Lusitania had sunk into the sea. **
