The Lucitania was a civilian cruise ship which should have not been a target. According to Germany, the Lucitania was secretly transporting troops and munitions which made it a fair target, but these accusations were denied. Whether the Lucitania was carrying war supplies or not, the sinking of the Lucitania was an embarassment to one of the sides -- to the Germans if the Lucitania was unarmed; or to the Allies if it was armed.
