This title in other formats:The Grey Seas Under: The Perilous Rescue Mission of A N.A. Salvage Tugby Farley Mowat
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In The Grey Seas Under, Farley Mowat writes passionately of the courage of men and of the small oceangoing tug Foundation Franklin. From 1930 until her final voyage in 1948, the stalwart tug's dangerous job was to rescue sinking ships, first searching for them in perilous waters and then bringing them back to shore. Battered by towering waves, dwarfed by the great ships she towed, blasted by gale-force winds and frozen by squalls of snow and rain, Foundation Franklin and her brave crew saved hundreds of vessels and thousands of lives as they patrolled the North Atlantic, including waters patrolled by U-boats in wartime.Mowat, whom The New York Times has called "a master storyteller," gives us an epic tale - a vigorous, dramatic picture of the eternal battle between men and the cruel sea. (6 X 9, 360 pages) Book News Annotation:Mowat, author of Never Cry Wolf and nearly 40 other books, writes
passionately of the courage of the men of the small oceangoing tug
Foundation Franklin. From 1930 until 1948, the tug's job was to
rescue sinking ships in the North Atlantic. Mowat's account paints a
dramatic picture of the battle between men and the cruel sea.
