The Attack on Orleans was a naval and air action during World War I which took place on 21 July 1918. A German U-boat opened fire on the American town of Orleans, Massachusetts, and several merchant vessels nearby. A tugboat was sunk, but shells fired in the direction of the town landed harmlessly in a marsh and on a beach. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_on_Orleans http://www.attackonorleans.com/the-attack.html
