This question is somewhat vague in it's reference. U boats sank many ships. Possibly "the ship" was the Lusitania, a passenger liner. It was sunk on May 7th 1915 off the coast of Ireland. The Germans justified this horrible act by their belief that the ship was also carrying war munitions to Britain, which has been verified in more recent years. The ship had a number of Americans on board which strengthened the argument that the U.S. should enter the war, which it did on April 6, 1917.
