Patria sinking in Haifa harbor The Patria disaster occurred on 25 November 1940 when the Patria , a French -built ocean liner , sank in Haifa harbour after a bomb carried covertly on board exploded, killing 260 people, and injuring another 172.¹ At the time of the sinking, the Patria was carrying around 1,800 Jewish refugees from Nazi -occupied Europe who were being deported by the British to Mauritius , because they did not possess entry permits.² The deportation was opposed by Zionist organisations including the underground paramilitary Haganah group, which planted a bomb with the intention of disabling the ship to prevent it from leaving Haifa.³ However, the Haganah miscalculated the effects of the explosion and the bomb caused the ship to sink in under fifteen minutes, trapping hundreds in the hold.⁴ The survivors were subsequently permitted to remain in Palestine on humanitarian grounds. Who was responsible and the true reason why the Patria sank remained controversial mysteries until 1957, when Monya Mardor, the person who placed the bomb, published a book about his experiences.⁵ Deaths of 260 in 1940 ship explosion commemorated⁶
