"Ship of Fools" is a novel by Katherine Anne Porter. Her only long novel, it was published in 1962. This work, which tells the tale of a group of disparate characters sailing from Mexico to Germany aboard a mixed freighter and passenger ship, is a satire that traces the rise of Nazism and looks metaphorically at the progress of the world on its "voyage to eternity."
In 1965 it was made into a film, adapted from the novel by Abby Mann and directed by Stanley Kramer.
