Welcome on board the S.S. Caribou, leaving from Sydney, Cape Breton. It is Tuesday, October 13, 1942 and the ship is scheduled to sail for Port aux Basques, Newfoundland at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Of the 238 crew and passengers on board, only 103 will survive a G7e torpedo from U-boat 69 “The Laughing Cow”, sinking the vessel at 2:40 a.m. Newfoundland Time on October 14.
This site hopes to record the names, photographs, and bios of everyone on board the S.S. Caribou on that night.
Click the bios listed below to see who survived and who died.
This site is curated by Jennifer Morgan, who is the great-grand-daughter of Thomas Moyst, the second engineer of the S.S. Caribou. I welcome edits, new information, and photographs, so please leave a comment or, even better, e-mail me at morganjlee(at)hotmail(dot)com. Thanks!
