Finally nailed Passenger/Cargo with one torpedo
After many failed attempts, I gave up from trying to sink her with one eel, and started to use two.
On my last encounter with Passenger/Cargo, one torpedo missed, and the other one hit a bit infront of the stern mast. I was about to make a second approach when my crew informed me that the ship is sinking.  I used electric torpedo, impact detonator, I *think* the depth was set to 5m.  Looking at the screenshot, I guess I was lucky the torpedo didn't bounce of the hull.

Yep,discovered this myself,thanks for confirming it,thought I'd got lucky but your shot makes me certain that that is the way forward
  I think we can now say we have found its Achilles heel

@nikbear
Glad we found her weakness. Now all we have to do is to hit that spot again.  @BulSoldier That's strange. It took me at least two torpedoes to sink her each time. No matter how much I waited, she never sank after only one hit. Until now, that is...

Large ships, aim around the forward mast. Small ships, aim around the aft mast. It seems to sink them with one shot 90 % of the time

I swear C2 ships have some kind of reinforced hull against my attacks. Always takes me 2-3 shots to sink one of those while a C3 often drops after just one! Some of us are just cursed against certain boats

I sunk one with one torpedo aswel. Just in front of the aft mast,like you. It did take quite a while though. And with serious waves. Im not sure about the warhead settings, but I suspect it was impact beacause of the high waves.
