Welsh merchant shipping companies began the war with 164 ships, of which no less than 123 were lost during its course. This book gives good accounts of the loss of 20 of these, mainly owned by Reardon Smith and Evan Thomas Radcliffe & Co., in convoy, alone, to submarine and raider, including Scheer in the Jervis Bay action. |
