Entry Detail

Entry Text: IVEY, W. P. (Bill). 'Er to 'Err: 'Ere bloometh the Rose. [33, 3, 191–226, 1–781, 9p.], illus., index. Birmingham, Ala: author, 1982.

A meandering autobiographical tribute to the US Merchant Marine in which he served. Includes the 1950 index to US Merchant Marine casualties. The incomprehensible title reflects a badly typed, cyclostyled, and confused memoir. Starting as a deckhand in the thirties, he rose to become an officer and sailed from Murmansk convoys to the Pacific.
