In the
spring of 1941, before the United States had entered World War II, the
passenger ship Zamzam was sunk by a German raider in the
South Atlantic. Among the Zamzam's 201
passengers were 142 Americans, most of whom were
missionaries en route to Africa. The dramatic sinking and
miraculous rescue became headline news in 1941.
With thanks to God, survivors
still share the story. Sometimes families, churches, and
communities come together to hear the story again. A
newspaper article and a
radio station report advertised such an event in August
2008. Also as a new addition to the Resources page of this Web
site, we share
119 photos from Life magazine, taken by the late Life
photographer and Zamzam passenger, Dave Scherman. These pages are maintained by
eleander@cox.net.
