Summary | On October 14, 1942, a German U-boat sank the passenger ferry SS Caribou in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. 237 passengers were on board, 136 perished, including 49 civilians. The author reimagines the events of that fateful night from both the perspectives of those aboard the doomed vessel and the German U-boat commander who gave the order. |
