While the unnoticed events, the whole world was witnessing the story of the hijacking of a passenger airliner.
The 186-meter transatlantic liner "Santa Maria" built in the early 50's in Belgium belonged to the Lisbon-based company "Colonial de Navegasan" and worked on passenger lines connecting Portugal with the United States and Latin America. On January 9, 1961, the Santa Maria departed Lisbon for another voyage to Miami. On board were 612 passengers, many of them U.S. citizens, and 300 crew members.
