Probably the most famous wartime loss was the Lusitania off the Old Head of Kinsale. Its fame is partly that it was a Cunard ship like the Titanic, and partly because of the controversy around her cargo. Although it was a passenger liner, it was sunk by a German U-Boat because it was thought to be smuggling arms from the then-neutral US to England.

Slightly off-topic, but I've always wondered why the wreck site of the Lusitania appears on in-flight maps. Anyone?
