On April 26, 1945, Cap Arcona was loaded with prisoners from the concentration camp Neuengamme and together with two smaller ships, Thielbek and Athen, was brought into the Bay of Lubeck with the intention of destroying evidence of what happened at Neuengamme by scuttling the ships with the prisoners imprisoned below.
