Struma. In December 1941 this 100-year-old, 180-ton cattleboat sailed for Palestine from Constanta, on Romania's Black Sea Coast, with 769 Jewish refugees aboard including 269
women and 70
children. She soon proved unseaworthy and was forced into Istanbul. As with those abroad the
Patria, the British authorities refused all appeals to allow the refugees into Palestine. After two months the ship was forced to leave Istanbul by the Turkish authorities, and the loss of all but one aboard when she foundered led to an international outcry. See also
Final Solution.
