The book tells the true story of a convoy of United States Navy Ships in the North Atlantic 3 months after the United States officially entered World War II. The USS Truxtun DD 229 and USS Wilkes DD 441 were tasked to protect the supplies ship, USS Pollux AKS 2 with its secret cargo. The narrative details the stormy voyage of the three ships from Portland, Maine, USA, to the shores of Lawn Bay and Chamber Cove, Newfoundland Canada. It chronicles the heroic efforts and valor of sailors in their struggle to man their ships and survive the icy waters, perilous currents and windswept land assisted by the men and women of Newfoundland. This collection of stories documents the honor of the crews, both victims and survivors, and the humanity and spirit of kindred people [women and men] who faced insurmountable odds to rescue their fellow man. The story shows the gratitude of the U.S government who bestowed a gift to the residents of St. Lawrence and Lawn in thanking them in saving U.S citizens. The story tells the tale of the disaster but also the aftermath and return of survivors many years later. It is a testament to the grit and courage of those sailors who endured the Battle of the Atlantic who savored call to service on the open sea. It is a story of inclusion, raw spirit and tenacity. Their names are written in the Honor books of History; their stories should never be forgotten.
