Not exactly...
What you are thinking of is the sinking of the RMS Lusitania, an English passenger line that went from Liverpool, England, to New York City and back again. It was sunk by a German U-Boat roughly a hundred miles the coast of Ireland, as it was headed towards Liverpool (ergo, full of New York passengers). This got the US quite upset.
On top of that, the English strategically timed the release of a dispatch from Germany to Mexico that they had decoded, this was called the Zimmerman Telegram. In the telegram, Germany promised Mexico that if they joined the Central Powers and the Central Powers won, then Mexico would regain all the land lost to America in the Spanish-American War.
It was primarily that combination that caused America to enter the war.
