A torpedo need not sink a ship to cause casualties, for those inside a ship the explosion of the torpedo may be the last sound ever heard. Such was the sad case for four men in SS Idomeneus of the Alfred Holt Company on Sept. 15, 1917. While en route from New York to Liverpool she was hit by a single torpedo fired from SMS
U-67. She was later grounded to avoid sinking and repaired. Ultimately she was scrapped in 1933.
