The British Empire and its effect on Plymouth


Johnnie Walker's Burial At Sea


That he died peacefully with his wife by his side and at the height of his fame and influence may actually have been a blessing of sorts for this brave man. It is hard to think of any more stressful job than in that of a submarine hunter responsible for the lives of not only his own crew, but the crews of his group's ships and of course the crews of all the merchant ships.
