U-35 delivered a coup-de-grace after U-34 had attacked Californian earlier. She was under tow from a French patrol boat when U-35 moved in to finish her off. Coincidentally, U-35 would also come within close proximity of the ill-fated Titanic'''s sister ship RMS Olympic on an unknown date in 1916, but "conditions made attack impossible."
