List of shipwrecks in July 1915

The list of shipwrecks in July 1915 includes ships sunk, foundered, grounded, or otherwise lost during July 1915.

World War I: The Königsberg-class light cruiser was scuttled in the Rufiji River in German East Africa following battle damage inflicted by HMS Mersey and HMS Severn (both  Royal Navy).

The wreck was scrapped in 1963-1965.

The passenger ship capsized and sank in 20 feet (6.1 m) of water at her dock at Cicero, Illinois due to being top heavy because of new US Government rules requiring more lifeboats, with the loss of 4 crew and either 812 or 840 passengers.

She was later salvaged, repaired and returned to service under various names including service in the U.S. Navy as USS Wilmette.
