SS Cork was an Irish passenger ship that was torpedoed by the German submarine SM U-103 in the Irish Sea nine nautical miles (17 km; 10 mi) north east of Point Lynas, Anglesey (53°34′N 4°14′W / 53.567°N 4.233°W / 53.567; -4.233) on 26 January 1918 while on route from Dublin, Ireland to Liverpool, United Kingdom while carrying a general cargo of sheep, horses, and cattle.

It was assessed at 1,232 gross register tons (GRT) and was powered by a triple expansion engine fed steam by two boilers.

[2] Cork was travelling along her normal route from Dublin, Ireland to Liverpool, United Kingdom while carrying a general cargo of sheep, horses, and cattle alongside 35 passengers and crew on 26 January 1918.

This attack came that day between 1 and 2 am, when the ship was nine nautical miles (17 km; 10 mi) north east of Point Lynas, Anglesey.

The crew, under the command of the chief officer, only had time to launch two lifeboats as Cork disappeared beneath the waves barely five minutes after the first torpedo impact.
