Rescue boats were sent out right away, but not before the British passenger steamer SS City of Cairo sank during World War II, killing a significant number of people. A total of one-third of the passengers on the City of Cairo perished. When the German submarine U-68 unintentionally torpedoed the passenger liner, the city of Cairo sank.

The U-68 commander bid the City of Cairo crew farewell and expressed regret for sinking them, leaving a note. Even though lifeboats were sent right away from Cairo, they were damaged and lost. The nearest land was five hundred kilometers away; thus, the occupants were likewise unable to withstand the tropical heat. In 2011, the Cairo wreck was found again.
