During World War II, several passenger ships were sunk in the Atlantic, most notably the RMS Lusitania, which was torpedoed by a German U-boat in 1915, and the MV Westralia, which was sunk by a German submarine in 1942. Other significant losses included the RMS Aquitania and the SS Athenia, the latter being the first British passenger ship sunk by a U-boat in the war.
