What happens
The neutral Chilean convoy SS Tolten was traveling unescorted from Baltimore to New York City, when she was hit near the bridge by a torpedo from the German submarine off Barnegat, New Jersey. The ship sank in six minutes and it was only after her sinking that the U-boat crew confirmed the ship to be Chilean. This could be a diplomatic disaster for the Germans.
