Many Were Held by the Sea tells the story of the crash of HMS Otranto and HMS Kashmir off the coast of Scotland near the end of World War I. The two ships, former British passenger liners from the P&O Steamship Company, collided while ferrying hundreds of American soldiers from New York to various British ports. The narrative details the courage of the young men on board and the anguish of their relatives on the home front, ultimately building up to the disastrous conclusion.
