About
Long Voyage, first published in 1944 as Nor Death Dismay is the moving account of the unsung heroes of America's Merchant Marine during the Second World War-those brave seamen who sailed the vital cargo-ships, facing unseen submarines and enemy aircraft. This well-written book focuses on the fleet of a large steamship company-the American Export Lines-whose ship's plied the world's oceans, and whose crews reported on their experiences at sea. Many ship's owned by the company were sunk, forcing the crew's to take to their lifeboats and trust their fate to the open sea, hoping for a speedy rescue that sometimes never came. The bravery and dedication of the crews remains a source of inspiration today.
