The SS Mont Louis was en route from Paramaribo, Suriname (formerly known as Dutch Guiana) to
Trinidad carrying a cargo of bauxite. The crew compliment was twenty-one. The ship was travelling
unescorted.
At 2:12 am on May 9, 1942 the German U-boat 162 torpedoed and sank the SS Mont Louis. Thirteen
members of the crew were lost, including Harold William Bagnell and John Alexander MacIntyre of
Nova Scotia. The master and seven crew members were picked up by the Mona Marie and landed at
Georgetown on 10 May.
