Descripton: From the publisher: The story of the merchant navy at war is a story of battles not only fought against the enemy but also against the implacable sea. Some were only 15 years of age, others hardened seaman, well beyond the usual age of those expected to fight. The author has provided text to go alongside each picture detailing the history of the vessel, its wartime record and its eventual demise.
