Re: Stupid Question re: shipping

Quote:
There is a Stationery Office publication from 1947 called 'British Merchant Vessels Lost or Damanaged By Enemy Action During Second World War' it llists date, ships name, tonnage, position and cause (i.e. A.C),
Another book issued by the Stationary Office in 1947 was a book entitled "British and Foreign merchant vessels lost or damaged by enemy action during Second World War." It is compiled by nation of registry, and includes fishing boats damaged and sunk by enemy action. There is even a section of losses of M/Vs and fishing boats lost but not to enemy action. Hmmm, even Switzerland lost 2 M/Vs during the war.
