About The Book
““Los… eins… zwei… drei… los.” Two torpedoes speed toward the liner where small children lie asleep in their bunks. Children being evacuated from Britain to Canada in the summer of 1940 to escape the impending invasion of Britain. The ship shudders as the torpedo strikes, alarm bells ring, and over three hundred children calmly, without panic or tears, take to the lifeboats.
“The Chief Engineer followed the Captain‘s gaze as orderly rows of children in bright orange life jackets walked to the lifeboats. ‘Good God, you‘d think they were off to the school picnic.’”
Rescued by an oil tanker and carried back to a Scottish port, the children are thrilled by their adventure and eager to go again.
Meanwhile, the crippled liner, Volendam, makes its perilous way back to land. A diver checks the massive hole in the bow and makes a startling discovery; a discovery immediately suppressed by wartime security measures.
Two weeks later, the City of Benares sails. It, too, is torpedoed but sinks within minutes and of the ninety children on board, only thirteen survive.
