Memorial to the thousands of sailors of the Merchant Navy who died at Sea in WW2, Pier Head, Liverpo
What a miserable, rotten hopeless life .. . an Atlantic so rough it seems
impossible that we can continue to takethis unending pounding and still
remain in one piece . . . hanging onto aconvoy is a full-time job . . . the
crew in almost a stupor from thenightmarishness of it all . . . and still
we go on hour after hour. So described asailor aboard an Atlantic Convoy
escort in World War 2. Frank Curry of theRoyal Canadian Navy wrote those
words in his diary aboard a corvette in1941, during the Battle of the
Atlantic, a battle that would be calledthe longest in history.
