Posted Missing - The Story of Ships Lost without Trace in Recent Years
Year: 1956 Language: English Author: Villiers A. Genre: History Publisher: Charles Scribner’s Sons Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages + OCR Pages count: 344 Description: Tus is the factual story of the many vessels, large and small, which have been posted missing at Llayd’s in London or have otherwise become untraced vessels during recent years. The accounts are prepared from the official records. Every year, at least one big, well-founded ship and a number of little ones of anything up to a thousand tons are Posted Missing at Lloyd's. The reasons for the loss of some of these are obvious, though no one actually witnessed their ends; some have simply disappeared from the face of the sea.The ships posted missing whose cases Alan Villiers examines here range from the battleship Sao Paolo to little Breton fishing trawlers, from sailing-ships on the old Cape Horn route to oil-tankers during the Depression, from ships which vanished alone in fine weather to the groups which wen missing at the same time - the nine Arctic trawlers in the January storm, and the five Norwegian sealers in the gale among the ice.
