Courage at Sea
Courage at Sea: Newfoundland Sailors in the Great War is a collection of more than forty World War I stories involving the Newfoundland Royal Naval Reserve and the Newfoundland merchant seamen who delivered goods to Europe in aid of the Allied war effort. Many foreign-going vessels carrying Newfoundlanders were apprehended en route by German U-boats and shelled, torpedoed, or boarded and bombed. Some of the crews were let go, but others were less fortunate.

Torpedoed Three Times in Three Weeks
The Story of Michael Foley, Harbour Grace
Dictator's Crew as Prisoners of War

The Halifax Explosion: A Reservist Writes Home
. . . plus many more.
