My answer was WRONG!  Probably the most common wrong answer owl bet.  Excellent question!  It will be child's play for Amy of course!

I thought of two possibilities, but I knew the date was wrong for at least one of them.  I could never have come up with the correct answer.

It will be a joy to watch Amy crush this one!  I knew my answer had way more passengers but it was all I had.  As far as dates, the year looked right so that was good enough for me!

BOO!

If you want to know now if Amy got it right...

Spoiler

She did.  I don't understand how anyone can know so much crap.  If I didn't know better, I would almost begin to believe that the show is rigged.

So did I.

Spoiler

I figured Titanic had way more passengers, so maybe the Lusitania? 

But that was too late and too large too:

RMS Lusitania was a British ocean liner that was sunk on 7 May 1915 by a German U-boat 11 miles off the southern coast of Ireland, killing 1,198 passengers and crew. The sinking occurred about two years before the United States declaration of war on Germany.
