In Literature
The 1932 Cuba hurricane inspired an allegorical novel by Richard Arthur Warren Hughes. The captain of the S.S. Phemius of the Blue Funnel Line, D.L.C. Evans, asked Hughes to write of the harrowing trip through the hurricane. This led Hughes to write In Hazard (1938) in which the fictional Archimedes encounters a fierce November hurricane that nearly destroys the ship.
