Reseña del editor

A tribute to the ships and the men of the British and Canadian Merchant Navies and the American Merchant Marine. The authors have assembled rare photographs, paintings and memorabilia in order to convey an impression of the extreme dangers faced by seamen in some of the most lonely and terrible places on earth. The accompanying text draws upon the unpublished memoirs of the sailors and contains vivid accounts of the war at sea, providing a reminder of how much we owe to ordinary seamen who never had the chance to be heroes and often died unrecorded deaths. Illustrated in color and b&w. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
