"The life of Arrozorov (or elephant)"
- CONTENT -
The life of Arrozorov was an alpable ship that organized the institution for an increase in B. The ship, named after the statesman Haim Arlozorov, led 1,398 elephants from the port of Sweden and Italy to the coast of Israel in the winter of 1947, on the longest sea voyage of a ship from elephants until then. The ship rose up on a mountainside with a wavey beach on February 28, 1947, fighting British Navy ships and soldiers. Her prayers were arrested by the British and deported to the detention camps in Cyprus.
History of her

The ship was built in 1912 as USS Unalga. The ship, which was medium-sized and built from steel, was considered to have relatively high speed – up to 12.5 contact, and had a range of approximately 1,500 km. She had four decks and steam-driven, and had two guns of the size of 6 pounds and four sticks (3 inch and 20 mm).
By 1913, the ship was in the Mediterranean region of Port Said. During the First World War until 1930, she dealt with boatings near the coast of Alaska at the Bering Sea and delivering supplies to remote areas. In the 1930s, Onellga served in boats in the Florida Gulf. From 1936 and during World War II, the ship was stationed in San Juan in Puerto Rico and served in defense boats against submarines. For this purpose, it is concentrated in depth bombs and called the end of the war – Dardar and Sonar.

After World War II, the ship was sold to a commercial company and served as a merchant ship in South America and the Caribbean Sea. Its name is different to Ulúa, the name of the Ulúa River in Honduras, and is the flag of this country.
In the summer of 1946, she was acquired in Florida by directing the Institute for an increase in B through a straw company named Weston Steamship Trading Co. The ship was one of the 10 elephant ships known as the "American ships" of the desalination plant - ships purchased in the United States/Canada and which were relatively large for ships purchased in Europe allowed a significant change in the scope of the evasion after the "Morry Greenfield" - a volunteer in one of them - wrote a book called the "secret fleet of Jews").
It is different from the name of the Arrozorov life.

Ships and crew
The commander of the institution’s discriminatory base for an increase in Marchi, which kept the top known as “Rudy”, set the crew of the ship, which was not a routine team, in terms of its size and range:
The lenders, three May of the Palms, Israel (who was called “Leave”), were turtles as “Morry”) and Nathan Lohan, “the traitor,” Moshe Farron, a traitor, and the chief mechanical elephants. The first two had already gained experience in sailing ships; the last two were those who brought the ship from the United States to Marseille. Later, on the coast of Italy, the crew joined three more escorts – Ezekiel Maoz, Avraham Shabit and Jacob Arnon.
Twenty Jewish volunteers from the United States – three of them, including the first officer Art Bernstein, served in the United States Navy. Five others served in the U.S. Marine Corps. Most volunteers did not have any naval experience.
Six hired Spanish sailors, led by Captain Pedro Lopez, were forced to work to strengthen him professionally.
For her and her husband, Bernestin was the captain and the heart, and he was his deputy. In fact, he was the captain of the captain and Bernstein and Lopez were his deputy.
Saul Avigor, head of the institution for the increase B, chose the role of the commander of the ship and the other man on behalf of the institution of the Lionab ("Lobe"), whose neighbors were "Arator", 25. Unlike then, although Alibaba was a member of the institution for an increase in B and not a professional May, he was elected to command the ship due to the special circumstances of the cruise. El Al
