Front Cover Photo: The S.S. Caribou Back cover: Crew of the S.S. Caribou THE S. S. CARIBOU The SS Caribouwas a passenger ferry used by the Newfoundland government’s ferry service between Port aux Basques, Newfoundland and North sydney, Nova scotia. the Caribou was built in 1925 at rotterdam, Netherlands for the Newfoundland railway. Launched in 1925, she had a capacity of 3,000 horsepower (2,200 kw) and was able to reach a speed of 14.5 knots (26.9 km/h) when fully loaded. she also had steam-heat and electric lights in all of her cabins, a luxury at the time. Due to her ice-breaking design, the Caribou also assisted during the seal hunt along the Newfoundland coast each spring. the Caribouwas torpedoed by the german U-boat U-69 and sunk in the Cabot strait during the night of 14 october 1942. Caribou was carrying 46 crew and 206 civilian and military passengers. 137 lost their lives, many of them Newfoundlanders. of the deceased, 2 were rescued but died of exposure. the remains of 34 victims were found. only one of the eleven children survived. “Lest We Forget”
