SS Tuscania (1914)
SS ''Tuscania'' was a luxury liner of the Cunard subsidiary Anchor Line, named after a town in Italy. She was torpedoed in 1918 by the German U-boat while transporting American troops to Europe and sank, sending 210 people to their deaths.〔Massie, Robert K. ''Castles of Steel: Britain, Germany, and the Winning of the Great War at Sea.'' New York: Ballantine Books, 2004. ISBN 0-345-40878-0〕
==Commercial career==
The ''Tuscania'' carried passengers between New York City and Glasgow while in service with the Anchor Line, on a route that had previously been assigned to her sistership ''Transylvania''.〔 She continued to run this route even as World War I broke out in Europe and Germany initiated. She also made at least one run from Bombay to Liverpool. Unrestricted submarine warfare in British territorial waters put neutral ships like the ''Tuscania'' at risk of being misidentified and attacked. The ''Tuscania'' made international headlines for rescuing passengers and crew from the burning Greek steamer SS ''Athinai'' on September 20, 1915,〔"Greek Liner Burns at Sea, 469 saved" ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'', September 21, 1915: p.2〕 and made the news again in March 1917 by evading a submarine and a suspected German commerce raider.〔"Report the Tuscania Dodged a Submarine" ''The New York Times'' 22 Mar 1917: p.3〕
