MarEx Reader Forwards Link to Merchant Mariner Video

Published Jan 20, 2011 3:07 PM by The Maritime Executive

YouTube video is both historical and entertaining, complete with some appropriate music.

MarEx just received the referenced link shown below from a loyal reader. The video is posted on YouTube and is entirely devoted to a tribute to merchant mariners and the ships they sail on, particularly in terms of the efforts of commercial ships during World War II. The description of the dangers from the threat of U-boat attacks perhaps has some applicability to today’s modern day piracy crisis. A light timeout from your day: click the link.
