Gulflight
From Warlike
Gulflight was an American 5,189 GRT oil tanker built by the New York Shipbuilding Corporation of Camden, New Jersey for the Gulf Refining Company. It was launched on 8 August 1914. The ship became famous when it was torpedoed early in World War I and became the center of a diplomatic incident which moved the United States closer to war with Germany. The ship survived the attack but was eventually sunk in 1942 by torpedo attack in World War II.
