The Dolphin Tavern on the corner of Red Lion Street and Lamb's Conduit Passage in London was destroyed by a bomb from Zeppelin LZ.13 commanded by Kapitänleutnant (Lieutenant Commander) Heinrich Mathy on September 9, 1915. Twenty-two people were killed in the raid, at least four of them children, most when Mathy's bombs hit two motor omnibuses. The Tavern has since been reconstructed. The 1990 song 'After the Dolphin' by Crosby, Stills and Nash mistakenly attributes the bomb to 'a plane'.
