Isle of Man Steam Packet in the Second World War

Om Isle of Man Steam Packet in the Second World War

Names like Ben-My-Chree, Tynwald and Lady of Mann are synonymous with the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company, the worldâEUR(TM)s oldest shipping line that is still in existence. In its long history, there can have been no greater test of the companyâEUR(TM)s ships or its men than the Second World War. As well as maintaining a crucial link to the Isle of Man (in spite of U-boats and mines), the vessels and their compliments saw vital service as troop carriers at Dunkirk, on D-Day and elsewhere. For the first time, this book explores what it was really like to crew these ships, often under fire, and frequently in danger. Using previously unreleased archive material, and sometimes forgotten personal accounts, this book weaves a gripping narrative of what was arguably the Isle of ManâEUR(TM)s greatest contribution to victory in the Second World War âEUR" its fleet.
