U - 30 is significant for the torpedoing of the American tanker " Gulflight " on 1 May 1915 twenty miles west of Scilly . Torpedoing of the " Gulflight " . The particular mission when the " Gulflight " was attacked commenced 24 April 1915 . On 28 April U - 30 intercepted the 1950 ton collier " Mobile " which she sank by gunfire after allowing the crew to escape . On 29 April she similarly sank the 3200 ton " Cherbourg " . 30 April she ordered the steamer " Fulgent " to halt , but when the ship failed to do so fired a shot into the ship ' s bridge , which killed the captain and quartermaster . The ship stopped and the rest of the crew were allowed to escape before the ship was sunk by explosive charges placed inside . That afternoon , the 3100 ton " Svorno " was stopped and sunk . On 1 May the grain carrier " Edale " and French ship " Europe " were sunk . A Dutch ship was stopped and as a neutral permitted to continue at a point some 45 miles north west of the Scilly Isles but the submarine was spotted at this point by a steam drifter , " Clara Alice " which reported her position to a naval patrol . The patrol ships Iago and Filey started to hunt for the submarine , but succeeded only in intercepting the " Gulflight " , which they took under escort . The escort proved something of a disadvantage to the gulflight because she was obliged to slow down for the patrol and then under international law , as a ship escorted by armed vessels became a legitimate target for attack . U30 spotted the convoy and fired one torpedo at " Gulflight " , before noticing that she was flying an American flag . The submarine then broke off the attack in accordance with her instructions not to attack neutral vessels . The Gulflight survived the attack , although two members of the crew drowned while evacuating the ship and the master Captain Gunter died later that night from a heart attack . The ship was towed to Crow Bay and later repaired . News of the event would be overshadowed a few days later by the sinking of the " RMS Lusitania " but the incident together with the attack on Lusitania and another ship the " Cushing " formed the basis of a formal complaint from the US government to Germany . Although the United States remained officially neutral in the ongoing hostilities , it reached agreement with the German government that further attacks by submarine would be strictly in accord with " cruiser Rules " as defined by international law .
