Ludger Sylbaris (1 June 1874[1] – c. 1929, aged 55), also known as Louis-Auguste Cyparis, was a Martiniquais sailor who became known as one of three known survivors of the 1902 eruption of Mount Pelée on Martinique. The event killed an estimated 30,000 people in Saint Pierre, known as the "Paris of the West Indies", located at the base of the volcano, when a pyroclastic flow engulfed the city, completely destroying it.[2]
