Description

During the Second World War, the Merchant Navy suffered a higher percentage loss than any of the British armed forces, but despite this extraordinary fact few people today are aware of it.

In total, 33,000 merchant seamen died, while others were severely injured both physically and mentally.

This book is an important volume attempting to dispel the ignorance, and for the first time brings together a wealth of information concerning ship losses, including such details as ships' names, their captains, the route they were lost on, date and positions when lost, loss of life, and many other particulars.

A former wartime Merchant Navy man himself, Malcolm presents a compendium of shipping company losses that is staggering in scale.

This work will be of great value to shipping enthusiasts and anyone interested in the war at sea.
