Description: | A poem (based on actual events) describing the voyage of convoy S. C. 42 during the Battle of the Atlantic. In his foreword Pratt describes the poem's genesis: "In the spring of 1945 my friend, Professor Lorne Richardson (then a Commander of the Royal Canadian Navy), asked me if I should like to spend some time at sea in order to gather material and atmosphere for a poem... I was granted every facility to go out with destroyers and corvettes, and collect from officers and crews facts, stories, moods, technical terms and the ever-maturing crop of nautical idioms."
