Algonquin Sunk By German Submarine Off Coast
The American steamship Algonquin was torpedoed near Plymouth on March 12 by a German submarine. All crew members were saved. Later reports say the ship was sunk without warning after being boarded and bombed. The incident is viewed as not yet changing U.S.-Germany relations, with war only possible if a U.S. armed vessel clashes with a German sub.
