MS St. Louis
The MS ''St. Louis'' was a German ocean liner most notable for a single voyage in 1939, in which her captain, Gustav Schröder, tried to find homes for 908 Jewish refugees from Germany, after they were denied entry to Cuba and the United States, until finally accepted in various European countries, which were later engulfed in World War II. Historians have estimated that, after their return to Europe, approximately a quarter of the ship's passengers died in death camps. The event was the subject of a 1974 book, ''Voyage of the Damned'', by Gordon Thomas and Max Morgan-Witts. It was adapted for a 1976 US film of the same title.
==Background==
Built by the Bremer Vulkan shipyards in Bremen for the Hamburg America Line, the ''St. Louis'' was a diesel-powered ship and properly referred to with the prefix "MS" or "MV", but she is often known as the "SS ''St. Louis''". The ship was named after the city of St. Louis, Missouri. Her sistership was the ''Milwaukee''. The ''St. Louis'' regularly sailed the trans-Atlantic route from Hamburg to Halifax, Nova Scotia and New York and made cruises to the Canary Islands, Madeira and Marocco. The ''St. Louis'' was built for both transatlantic liner service and for leisure cruises.
