Ships Lost During the Battle of the Atlantic
To the memory of those stout hearts, our shipmates and messmates who have not returned and will not be returning from the dark waters. Somewhere in those unlit depths today they lie, a torn steel hull their sepulcher, an ocean floor their abbey. One remembers them not alone for the gallantry of their sacrifice, but too because somehow one’s own life seems the richer for having know their friendship.
