The sinking of the Zamastanian ocean liner ZCLV Marian Annat occurred on 4th July 1911. The ship was sunk by a Gladysynthian torpedo boat and sank in 18 minutes, and also took on a heavy starboard list. The vessel went down 11 miles (18 km) off the coast of Roubaix, Vulkaria, killing 2,198 and leaving 306 survivors. The sinking turned public opinion in many countries against Gladysynthia and directly contributed to the Zamastanian entry into the Elkjop War.
