Running low on fuel Kapitänleutnant Walter Schwieger decided to turn back. On his way back he ran into several ships, and sunk them. When he met up with the Lusitania, he surfaced and fired one torpedo. The torpedo was noticed, but nothing was able to be done about it. Right after it hit, it triggered something in the ship that exploded. The life boats were not able to be used because the boat was tilted, and half of the life boats were under the boat, while the other half was out of the water. A distress signal was sent out and pick up by Queenstown.

Queenstown sent out several boats to see what they could do. They arrived at the seen two hours after the sinking. They were, however, able to rescue 761 people from the wreckage. The total number of deaths was 1,198.
