• Upon their arrival in Cuba, unfortunately, the passengers were not allowed to disembark

• Cuban officials claimed that the travel visas of the passengers were invalid due to corruption

• 22 passengers were allowed to get off of the ship

The U.S. and Canada

• The captain and crew of the St. Louis made requests with the White House and the U.S. State Department, seeking permission to dock and to allow for the passengers to enter the United States. All requests were denied
