The rest of the bodies that were recovered were brought to Ocean City, where they were transported, in a pick-up, from the boat, to the Ocean City ice plant, then located on Philadelphia Avenue and Somerset Street. There they were iced for shipment to Norfolk.
Local resident George Bert Cropper was called to help in the preparation of the bodies. When asked if the cause of death was apparent, i.e., drowning or gunshot, he said that all died of gunshot wounds and that the bullet wounds were readily apparent.
Local resident Frances Mumford, whose brother-in-law, Allen Mumford, worked at the ice plant, remembers there being about a dozen bodies. Neither Capt. Topp, nor anyone else, was ever charged with the crime. Capt. Topp, the third most successful U-boat captain, later became a rear-admiral in the postwar navy of American ally West Germany.
The Reuben James had been named for boatswains’ mate Reuben James who was born in Delaware about 1776, and who served with Lt. Stephen Decatur during the famous raid to burn the Philadelphia in the Harbor of Tripoli, Libya, on Feb. 16, 1804.
During that engagement James positioned himself between Lt. Decatur and a sword-wielding Barbary pirate, taking the blow from the sword. He did survive, as did the lieutenant.
Reuben James continued to serve his country in the U.S. Navy, until January 1836, when he was forced to retire because of ill health. He died on Dec. 3, 1838, at the U.S. Naval Hospital in Washington, D.C.
Twenty years after the sinking of the “Rube,” The Kingston Trio included Guthrie’s song on their album “Close-Up,” with slightly different lyrics. The album reached #3 on the charts and was nominated for a Grammy. Among other differences, the Trio noted that,
“Many years have passed since those brave men are gone,
Those cold icy waters, they’re still and they’re calm.
Many years have passed and still I wonder why the worst of men must fight,
And the best of men must die.”
In 1991, the U.S. Postal Service issued a 29-cent stamp honoring the Reuben James.
“Now tonight there are lights in our Country so bright,
In the farms and in the cities they are telling of the fight.
And now our mighty battleships will steam the bounding main, and remember the name of that good Reuben James.”

ROBERT HARRY PHILLIPS Berlin
Beloved by countless friends and family, Robert (Bob) Harry Phillips, age 93 of Berlin, Maryland, passed away at the Coastal Hospice at the Lakes on Oct. 21, 2021.
Born in Hebron, Maryland, on March 27, 1928, he was the son of the late John Edward Phillips and Elizabeth Savage Phillips.
Bob is survived by his wife of 48 years, Esther Collins Phillips; a daughter, Leigh Ann Taylor (Ricky); a son, Robin S. Johnson (Carol); five grandchildren, Katie Cabrera (Joaquin), Hunter Johnson (Brandie), Ryan Taylor, Brett Taylor and Jake Taylor; and one greatgrandson, Gavin Cruz Cabrera. He is also survived by his sister, Brenda P. Fox (Jim). He loved his nieces and nephew like his own: Susan Colliton (Kevin), Lori Bennett (David) and Jim Fox
II (Dawn).
He also loved his great nieces and nephews: Sarah, Corie, Patrick, Jimmy III, Jordan, Jessie, Johnny and Rachel.
He was preceded in death by not only his parents but also his son, Robbie Phillips; and his sister, Peggy Elaine Phillips.
He graduated from Hebron High School in 1946 and then from Beacom College in 1948.
For 42 years, Bob was employed by two different banks: the Union Trust Co. (24 years) followed by Peninsula Bank (18 years).
He served Peninsula Bank in various lending, managerial and business development capacities including regional vice president for the bank’s three offices in Ocean City and Berlin, and in 1988 was named vice president for Business Development in Worcester County.
Active in various civic and community affairs, Bob was a member and a director of the Berlin Lions Club, a director of the Worcester County United Fund Drive, and a director of the Berlin Heritage Foundation.
His other previous affiliations included the Ruritan Rockawalkin Club, the Board of Zoning Appeals for the Town of Berlin, Worcester County Board of Education Technology Task Force, Berlin Chamber of Commerce, and the Atlantic General Hospital Fundraising Campaign Committee.
A member of the Lions Club for 47 years, Bob was a recipient of the Melvin Jones Fellow Award for his humanitarian efforts. He was also a member of the Stevenson United Methodist Church in Berlin where he enjoyed listening to the church’s pipe organ.
After retiring from the banking industry, his passion for fine woodworking drew him into his woodworking “shop” just steps away from his back door.
He spent many hours in his shop fine-tuning his craftsmanship. The exquisite detail of his work was deeply appreciated by countless individuals for whom he made furniture.
Bob was also an avid reader with an insatiable appetite for fiction, reading up to several books a week, even up until the time of his passing.
In his later years, he also thoroughly enjoyed “the Lunch Bunch” gatherings on Wednesdays as well as the monthly Phillips “Cousins’” luncheons.
He was well known for his authenticity, humor, intelligence and wit, which served him well throughout his life. It has been said, to know him was to love him.
A celebration of his life will be held on Nov. 21, 2021 at 2 p.m. at Stevenson United Methodist Church in Berlin, Maryland. Rev. James Fox and Rev. David Bennett (nephews) will officiate.
For health considerations, face masks are recommended and there will be no visitation prior to the service.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are welcome to Coastal Hospice (P.O. Box 1722, Salisbury, Maryland 21802) or to Stevenson United Methodist Church (123 N. Main Street, Berlin, Maryland 21811).
Arrangements are in the care of Eastern Shore Cremation and Funeral Service, 504 Franklin Avenue, Berlin, Maryland 21811. To send condolences to the family, please visit www.easternshorecremation.com.
