Between Dec 2016 and March 2017 I made 2 drawings about the sailing ship St Louis:
The Sea monsters and the sailing ship St Louis 1939; followed by The Sea beasties and the sailing ship St Louis 1939 [see Other Holocaust Art, 2000’s].

In April 2017, while in London for a week, I drew and cut The Sea demons lino, which was printed in an edition of 40 proofs by Capetown, S. Africa raised printmaker Jonathan Comerford. He received 20 proofs, Segan received the other 20.

The ship had about 900 passengers, mainly German Jewish, on board when it left Hamburg for Havana, Cuba. About 20 passengers were allowed to disembark in Cuba.

Then the United States and Canadian governments denied refugee status to any passengers when the ship went near Miami and Nova Scotia. The passengers disembarked in Antwerp, Belgium.

The British accepted a number of the passengers, all of whom were alive at the end of WWII. Of those who disembarked in Antwerp and were allowed to enter France and Belgium, a number of them were eventually murdered by the Nazis.
