Passenger Lists 
- WWII Jewish Refugees in Portugal - 
Voyage to Freedom

Lista General de Passageiros. Companhia Colonial de Navegaçao, 1944-45. 
[General Passenger List. Colonial Shipping Company, 1944-45.]

Folio dossier of passenger lists, documenting 8 separate voyages from Lisbon on a steamer named 'Guiné,' transporting primarily Jewish refugees, some of which were infants and children. Sailings took place between November 1944 and August 1945, when multitudes of persecuted Jews sought, with the aid of the Portuguese, to flee their horrific abhorrent would-be oppressors. In essence, these pages constitute a list of survivors who potentially escaped what is now known as the Death Marches of 1944-1945. (The last 13 prisoners, all women, were killed in Auschwitz II on November 25, 1944 - the same month as the first sailing listed here). These routes were from Cadiz or Lisbon, to Madeira, Sao Vincente, Praia (Cape Verde), Gibraltar, Port-Said, Filadelfia, and Haifa.

La COMPANHIA COLONIAL DE NAVEGAÇÃO inició operaciones en 1922 entre Lisboa, San Vicente, Guinea Portuguesa  y Angola.  La ruta fue extendida hasta Mozambique el 5 de enero de 1930. En 1929 la Compañía compró el ASSYRIA de 8.142 toneladas y hélices gemelas de la Anchor Line, botado el 3 de mayo de 1908 como el YPIRANGA de la Hamburg American.  Fue renombrado COLONIAL, y hasta algunos meses después del estallido de la Segunda Guerra Mundial estaba destinado al servicio a Mozambique.  El 22 de junio de 1940 partió de Lisboa a Madeira, San Vicente, Río de Janeiro y Santos.  Hizo un segundo viaje a Sudamérica en 1944.

 En 1940, la CCN, como se la llamaba familiarmente, compró el buque yugoeslavo PRINCESA OLGA de 8.267 toneladas, botado el 8 de septiembre de 1914 como el EBRO de la Royal Mail Packet Company.  Fue rebautizado SERPA PINTO y despachado desde Lisboa el 4 de agosto de 1940 a Madeira, San Vicente, Río de Janeiro y Santos.  Entre esa fecha y el 10 de octubre de 1945 partió de Lisboa hacia Sudamérica 11 veces, el viaje que comenzó el 31 de marzo de 1942 fue extendido desde Brasil a Buenos Aires. Hubo muchas brechas entre las partidas a Sudamérica lo que posibilitó al SERPA PINTO también realizar viajes desde Lisboa a Nueva York, y luego a Baltimore o Filadelfia.  Navegó regularmente en una u otra ruta hasta el 9 de agosto de 1948, cuando arribó a Lisboa desde Brasil con problemas serios de motores y la reparación no finalizó hasta diciembre.  Volvió al servicio a Sudamérica el 15 de enero de 1949.  Mientras tanto, el PATRIA de 13.196 toneladas y el IMPÉRIO de 13.186 toneladas fueron, respectivamente, responsables para uno y tres viajes a Sudamérica, en reemplazo del buque dañado.



 

"Imperio" y "Patria"

El CORCOVADO de 8.374 toneladas de la Hamburg American, completado en 1908, se convirtió en el GUGLIELMO PEIRCE de la Sicula Americana en 1920, en el MARIA CRISTINA del Lloyd Sabaudo en 1927, y en el  MOUZINHO de la Companhia Colonial en 1930.  Inició el primero de 17 viajes redondos a Brasil en 15 de noviembre de 1946 (uno fue a Brasil y al Río de la Plata) y comenzó el último el 17 de enero de 1952.  Fue al desguace dos años más tarde.

     

El primero de dos buques mucho más grandes, el vapor a turbina VERA CRUZ de 21.765 toneladas y hélices gemelas botado por Cockerill de Hoboken en 2 de junio de 1951 y despachado desde Lisboa a Madeira, Río de Janeiro, Santos y Buenos Aires el 20 de marzo de 1952, tenía una velocidad de servicio de 20 nudos y capacidad para 148 pasajeros de primera, 250 en camarotes y 844 de clase turista.  El SANTA MARIA de 20.906 toneladas fue botado por el mismo astillero el 20 de septiembre de 1952, entró en servicio en noviembre de 1953 y navegó, junto con el VERA CRUZ, un tiempo entre Lisboa y Brasil y, de vez en cuando, al Río de la Plata.

 

Teniendo dos buques nuevísimos  construidos para el servicio a Sudamérica se decidió iniciar partidas regulares a América Central y el 14 de agosto de 1953 el SERPA PINTO partió de Lisboa a Madeira, La Guaira, Curaçao y La Habana.  Hizo 12 viajes redondos, el último finalizando en Lisboa el 11 de julio de 1955, después de lo cual fue al amarre y vendido para desguace.  Se debería agregar que su viaje final a Brasil había comenzado el 9 de julio de 1954. 

El VERA CRUZ navegó al Río de la Plata, o en ocasiones no más lejos que a Brasil, hasta el 19 de julio de 1954, cuando comenzó el primero de 13 viajes a América Central.  Insumieron cuatro años para completar, dado que entre estos hubo muchos viajes a Sudamérica.  Desde 1955 a 1973 el SANTA MARIA navegó principalmente a América Central, pero hizo varios viajes a Sudamérica, el último el 18 de noviembre de 1957 desde Lisboa.

El 22 de enero de 1961 se produjo el primer secuestro de un buque por motivaciones políticas, fue el caso del Santa María, un trasatlántico

The COLANIAL COMPANHIA OF NAVEGAÇÃO began operations in 1922 between Lisbon, San Vicente, Portuguese Guinea and Angola. The route was extended to Mozambique on January 5, 1930. In 1929 the Company purchased the ASSYRIA of 8,142 tons and twin propellers of the Anchor Line, launched on May 3, 1908 as the YPIRANGA of the Hamburg American. It was renamed COLONIAL, and until a few months after the outbreak of World War II it was destined for service to Mozambique. On June 22, 1940, he left Lisbon for Madeira, San Vicente, Rio de Janeiro and Santos. He made a second trip to South America in 1944.

 In 1940, the CCN, as it was familiarly called, bought the Yugoslav ship PRINCESA OLGA of 8,267 tons, launched on September 8, 1914 as the EBRO of the Royal Mail Packet Company. It was renamed SERPA PINTO and dispatched from Lisbon on August 4, 1940 to Madeira, San Vicente, Rio de Janeiro and Santos. Between that date and October 10, 1945 he left Lisbon for South America 11 times, the trip that began on March 31, 1942 was extended from Brazil to Buenos Aires. There were many gaps between the departures to South America which made it possible for SERPA PINTO to also make trips from Lisbon to New York, and then to Baltimore or Philadelphia. He sailed regularly on one or another route until August 9, 1948, when he arrived in Lisbon from Brazil with serious engine problems and the repair did not finish until December. He returned to service to South America on January 15, 1949. Meanwhile, the PATRIA of 13,196 tons and the IMPERIAL of 13,186 tons were, respectively, responsible for one and three trips to South America, replacing the damaged ship.



 

"Empire" and "Homeland"

The CORBOVADO of 8,374 tons of the Hamburg American, completed in 1908, became the GIRLIELMO PEIRCE of the American Sicula in 1920, in the MARIA CRISTINA of the Lloyd Sabaudo in 1927, and in the MOUZINHO of the Colonial Company in 1930. It initiated the first of 17 round trips to Brazil on November 15, 1946 (one went to Brazil and the Rio de la Plata) and the last one began on January 17, 1952. It was scrapped two years later.

     

The first of two much larger vessels, the VERA CRUZ turbine steam of 21,765 tons and twin propellers launched by Cockerill of Hoboken on June 2, 1951 and dispatched from Lisbon to Madeira, Rio de Janeiro, Santos and Buenos Aires on 20 March 1952, had a service speed of 20 knots and capacity for 148 first class passengers, 250 in cabins and 844 tourist class. The SANTA MARIA of 20,906 tons was launched by the same shipyard on September 20, 1952, entered service in November 1953 and sailed, along with the VERA CRUZ, a time between Lisbon and Brazil and, from time to time, to the River of the Silver.

 

Having two new vessels built for service to South America, it was decided to start regular flights to Central America and on August 14, 1953, SERPA PINTO departed from Lisbon to Madeira, La Guaira, Curaçao and Havana. He made 12 round trips, the last one ending in Lisbon on July 11, 1955, after which he went to the mooring and sold for scrapping. It should be added that his final trip to Brazil had begun on July 9, 1954.

The VERA CRUZ sailed to the Río de la Plata, or sometimes no further than to Brazil, until July 19, 1954, when the first of 13 trips to Central America began. It took four years to complete, since among these there were many trips to South America. From 1955 to 1973 SANTA MARIA sailed mainly to Central America, but made several trips to South America, the last one on November 18, 1957 from Lisbon.

On January 22, 1961, the first hijacking of a ship took place due to political reasons, such as the Santa María, a transatlantic ship
