About: SS Caribou

Property	Value
dbo:abstract	Die Caribou war eine 1925 in Dienst gestellte Fähre, die der Regierung Neufundlands gehörte und Passagiere und Fracht für die Eisenbahngesellschaft transportierte. Sie pendelte zwischen Port aux Basques an der Südwestspitze Neufundlands und North Sydney in Nova Scotia. Am 14. Oktober 1942 wurde die Caribou, die 237 Menschen an Bord hatte, in der Cabotstraße von dem deutschen U-Boot U 69 ohne Vorwarnung torpediert und sank innerhalb von fünf Minuten. 137 Passagiere und Besatzungsmitglieder kamen dabei ums Leben, darunter Dutzende Frauen und Kinder. Es handelte sich um eines der größten Desaster Neufundlands während des Zweiten Weltkriegs und das bisher schwerste Schiffsunglück in der Cabotstraße. (de) SS Caribou was a Newfoundland Railway passenger ferry that ran between Port aux Basques, in the Dominion of Newfoundland, and North Sydney, Nova Scotia between 1928 and 1942. During the Battle of the St. Lawrence the ferry participated in thrice-weekly convoys between Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. A German submarine attacked the convoy on 14 October 1942 and Caribou was sunk. She had women and children on board, and many of them were among the 137 who died. Her sinking, and large death toll, made it clear that the war had really arrived on Canada's and Newfoundland's home front. Her sinking is cited by many historians as the most significant sinking in Canadian-controlled waters during the Second World War. (en)
