How very sad. My father and brother both graduated from USMMA Marine Quotes, Military Honors, Kings Point, Family Tree Genealogy, Aqua Print, American Colonies, Prisoners Of War, Nautical Art

Battle of the Atlantic: Allied Convoys

map indicating Merchant Ship Losses in the Atlantic from Aug 1, 1942 to May 31, 1943

If the Germans sank Allied merchant ships transporting weapons, raw materials, and food at a faster rate than this shipping could be replaced, then Britain would slowly lose the ability to wage war. This struggle was known as the ‘Battle of the Atlantic’. Halifax was the main port on the east coast of North America where merchant ships formed into convoys, groups of merchant vessels that sailed together for the hazardous trans-Atlantic crossing.
