He died 4 on Oct 14 1942 and was buried 5, 6 in Anglican Cemetery, Cavendish, Trinity Bay. PERSONAL REMEMBRANCE:

I have no personal memories of Max, as he died before I was born, however, I recall the Memorial Poster commemorating the sinking of the Caribou, which hangs in my Grandparent's house (Walter & Violet). I also remember some of my Aunt's going through an old trunk in their house, which contained some of Max's personal items, including a uniform hat and other papers.

DEATH:

It's 1942, World War Two is well underway. The harbours in St. John's and Port aux Basques are busy spots, with merchant supply vessels loading and unloading their cargos and Naval Ships stopping to take on young men, eager to join the allied troops in their battles abroad. Newfoundland families are huddled inside their homes - waiting out the blackout restrictions and thinking about the War going on 'far away' in Europe. They don't sense the danger. The enemy is about. Newfoundland's waters would soon see their deadliest Nazi U-boat attack.

On October 14, 1942 at 7:00 PM Atlantic Standard Time, the Newfoundland Railway Ferry SS Caribou; carrying 238 passengers and crew, 51 head of cattle, and some 900 bags of mail; casts off from North Sydney, Nova Scotia for her regular run to Port aux Basques, Newfoundland. As a precaution, she is escorted by the Navy's HMCS Grand-Mere.

At approximately 2:40 AM, in the Cabot Straight, not 40 miles from her destination, the SS Caribou is struck on the starboard side by a torpedo from the German submarine U-69. In less than five minutes, she is lost, taking 137 passengers and crew with her. The Grand-Mere tries to ram the U-boat, but is unsuccessful. The Royal Canadian Navy resuces 101 souls, including fifteen-month old Leonard Shiers, the only surviving child of the 15 who were on board.

Among the dead, is Eli Maxwell Bishop, a seaman in the Royal Navy, better known as Max, beloved son of William and Gertrude.

1. Excerpt from the Encyclopedia of Newfoundland and Labrador.

"Caribou, S.S. - Built by A. Goodwin-Hamilton S. Adamson Limited in Rotterdam, Holland, and owned and operated by the Newfoundland (Government) Railway, it carried freight and passengers between Port aux Basques and North Sydney, Nova Scotia from 1925 to 1942. The 2200 ton ship was 81 m (265 ft) long, 12 m (41 ft) wide, and able to carry four hundred passengers and fifty carloads of freight. It was designed for the ice conditions and heavy seas that occur in the North Atlantic. The S.S. Caribou was launched in June 1925, arrived in St. John's in October of that year and in the same month sailed to Port aux Basques to begin its ferry service across the Cabot Strait. The ship continued to operate during the early years of World War II. On October 14, 1942, however, while carrying 238 passengers and crew from North Sydney to Port aux Basques, it was attacked and sunk by a German submarine. The 101 people who survived the attack were rescued by ships of the Royal Canadian Navy; in memory of those who died a memorial was erected at Port aux Basques."
