We wanted no part of the war in Europe, but after a U-Boat sunk the Lusitania president Wilson told Germany knock it off, no more passenger ships or we'd come over there. Germany complied until the Russians collapsed, then the Germans said you're not the boss of me, figuring the could beat England and the U-Boats would keep the US from coming to the fight. That's why this U-Boat was in NY.

In the interest of full disclosure, Wilson did want a war and the Lusitania was carrying munitions.

Yes Wilson did, but 70% of the country did not. Strange as it may seem, back then the peoples wishes were honored by politicians.
Killing 1100 civilians is not justified over a few bullets... ok, 170 tons of bullets. |

That's cool, you can have your little dinghy transported to safer waters, and not risk ocean travel. They must have divers setting up some kind of cribbing to cradle the boats when the water's pumped out. Something to keep them from moving in rough weather.

Smooth sailing...

Smooth seas do not make strong sailors.

6 days do not a week make.

Four funnel ships look easy to roll over.
