The central occurrence of Lord Jim appears to be based on true events.Although Conrad never confirmed this,there seems to be too much similarity for mere coincidence.On 17 July 1880,S.S.Jeddah sailed from Singapore bound for Penang and Jeddah,with 778 men,147 women and 67 children on board.The passengers were Muslims from the Malay states,traveling to Mecca for the hajj (holy pilgrimage).
Jeddah sailed under the British flag and was crewed largely by British officers.It was owned by the Singapore Steamship Company,whose managing director,Syed Mohamed Alsagoff,came from a wealthy Arab family well established in Singapore.Syed Omar Alsagoff,Muhammad’s nephew,was on board at the time of the incident.After terrible weather conditions in the first week of passage,the ship's boilers ‘started adrift from their seatings’ and Jeddah began taking in water.The hull sprang a large leak,the water rose rapidly,and the captain and officers abandoned the heavily listing ship,taking Syed Omar with them.They were picked up by another vessel and taken to Aden where they told a story of violent passengers and a foundering ship.The pilgrims were left to their fate,and apparently certain death.
However,to much astonishment,on 8 August 1880 a French steamship towed Jeddah into Aden - the pilgrims had survived.They had been abandoned by those meant to protect them and an official inquiry followed into this great scandal.It is strongly suspected that this dishonourable tale inspired Conrad,who had landed in Singapore in 1883,and he wove the main themes of Lord Jim around it,using the name S.S.Patna for his fictional pilgrim ship.
The second part of the novel is based in some part on the life of James Brooke,the first Rajah of Sarawak.[1] Brooke was an Indian-born English adventurer who in the 1840s managed to gain power and set up an independent state in Sarawak,on the island of Borneo.Some critics,however,think that the fictional Patusan is to be found not in Borneo but in Sumatra.[2]
