The South African liner, Falaba, was torpedoed without warning and sank so rapidly that many passengers had no time to take to the boats. Falaba was a 5,000 ton British passenger-cargo ship. It was sunk on 28 March 1915 by the German submarine U-28, which was commanded by Baron Forstner. Falaba was off the southern Irish coast when U-28 surfaced and stopped the British ship.
