The Tuscania was carrying American troops to Europe during World War One when it was torpedoed by a German U-boat. It sank within hours. Thanks to the bravery of the British Royal Navy and the compassion of a Scottish island community, over 1,800 American soldiers survived.
The Tuscania Memorial, a long-overdue memorial to this event, honors the hundreds of brave American doughboys, rescuers, and survivors of the Tuscania disaster. The bronze relief memorial was unveiled on Saturday, November 10, 2018, a century after the end of World War One.
