Beschreibung:

The first refugee convoys arrived on Brazilian ports on November 1983. It was the Eugenio C cruise ship (a luxury cruiser before Doomsday, with its last tourist cruise finished on August 30th on Genova, Italy), that came all the way from Europe, with over 5,000 refugees from Italy, France, Spain, Germany and Portugal. It arrived at the Santos port on November 6th, 1983, 9:35pm (local time), being the very first of many refugee convoys to reach Brazilian soil.

Emergency medical care was given to the refugees on the ship, many of them suffering from radiation sickness, others suffering from starvation and drought.
