O “Terrible Turk”, Yusuf Ismail, arrived in the United States during March 1898. Ismail wrestled Ernst Roeber (twice), Tom Jenkins, Herklides and Evan “Strangler” Lewis.
Ismail booked passage back to the Ottoman Empire on the SS La Bourgogne. The ship struck another ship and sank off the coast of the United States and Canada. The SS La Bourgogne is famous for only 13 percent of passengers surviving while 48 percent of the crew survived.
