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. Recent additions to this Web site include greetings by
Brother George Lavalee and reflections by Elmer Danielson.
Also, a description and pictures of the Zamzam before 1941 have been
added to the "Zamzam" link (above). In addition, read about
the life-jacket shortage ("Vignettes") and Reunion Memories ("Survivors
and Reunions"). These pages are maintained by
eleander@cox.net.
