The Cunard White Star liner Lancastria was attacked during World War II on June 17, 1940, while evacuating British and Allied troops from France. The vessel was bombed by German aircraft off the coast of Saint-Nazaire, resulting in a catastrophic loss of life, with estimates of casualties ranging from 3,000 to 5,000. The attack highlighted the vulnerability of evacuation operations during the war and underscored the desperation of Allied forces as they retreated from advancing German troops. The sinking of the Lancastria remains one of the worst maritime disasters in British history.
