Transatlantic crossings in 1915 were perilous primarily due to the ongoing World War I, which heightened the threat of submarine warfare. German U-boats targeted merchant and passenger ships, leading to significant loss of life and vessels. The sinking of the RMS Lusitania in 1915 exemplified these dangers, as it was torpedoed by a U-boat, resulting in the deaths of nearly 1,200 passengers. Additionally, the lack of advanced navigational technology and the unpredictable weather conditions added to the risks of the journey.
