At 2:10 in the afternoon a torpedo fired by the German submarine U 20 slammed into her side. A second explosion ripped the liner apart. The ship listed so badly and quickly that lifeboats crashed into passengers crowded on deck, or dumped their loads into the water. Within 18 minutes the giant ship slipped into the water. 1,924 aboard died; 114 of which were Americans.
