This research aims to discuss critically about some aspects of the social context experienced in Sergipe, during the Second World War, through the analysis and interpretation of the material culture of that time. For this, we used as a theoretical and methodological approach, the approaches of Maritime Archeology and Historical Archeology, through which we investigated the tragic-naval episodes occurred with Brazilian merchant vessels - Baependy, Araraquara and Aníbal Benévolo - which were torpedoed and sunk by the German submarine U-507, in August 1942, between the coast of Sergipe and Bahia, that caused more than 500 deaths of men, women and children, and this event, one of the biggest reasons that led Brazil to declare a State of War throughout the country.
