Little is known about his family so please contact us if you can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Louis was a steward onboard S.S. Oropesa a general cargo ship. The ship left Suez on 30 November with Convoy BS 9A, which dispersed off Aden on 5 December 1940. On 12 December 1940\u00a0the Oropesa\u00a0left Mombasa in Kenya, calling at Mozambique on 19 December and Cape Town on Christmas Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On 16 January 1941 at 03:56 hrs\u00a0Oropesa\u00a0was southeast of Rockall in the Western Approaches when the German U-boat U-96 hit her in the stern with one G7a Torpedo. The ship did not sink immediately, so\u00a0U-96\u00a0waited and at 04:40 hrs fired another torpedo, but that malfunctioned and went in circles.\u00a0U-96\u00a0fired again at 05:03 and 05:59 hrs, this time hitting\u00a0Oropesa\u00a0beneath her bridge and amidships. The liner capsized and sank at 06:16 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Master Harry Croft, 98 crew, a DEMS gunner and six passengers were killed. The Royal Navy tugs HMS\u00a0Superman\u00a0and HMS\u00a0Tenacity\u00a0and anti-submarine destroyer HMS Westcott rescued 109 crew, one DEMS gunner and 33 passengers and landed them at Liverpool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Wikipedia<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Louis-bernstein-death-700x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21030\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Louis-bernstein-death-700x450.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Louis-bernstein-death-250x161.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Louis-bernstein-death-768x493.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Louis-bernstein-death-1536x987.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Louis-bernstein-death-2048x1316.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Louis-bernstein-death-120x77.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Louis Bernstein Steward, S.S.
