<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A modern epic of the hair-raising rescue missions of a deep-sea salvage tug that saved hundreds of lives during two decades of service. The "Foundation Franklin" ran from 1930 to 1948, rescuing sinking ships and battering towering waves in the North Atlantic.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>In The Grey Seas Under, Farley Mowat writes passionately of the courage of men and of the small oceangoing tug Foundation Franklin. From 1930 until her final voyage in 1948, the stalwart tug's dangerous job was to rescue sinking ships, first searching for them in perilous waters and then bringing them back to shore. Battered by towering waves, dwarfed by the great ships she towed, blasted by gale-force winds and frozen by squalls of snow and rain, Foundation Franklin and her brave crew saved hundreds of vessels and thousands of lives as they patrolled the North Atlantic, including waters patrolled by U-boats in wartime.Mowat, whom The New York Times has called "a master storyteller," gives us an epic tale - a vigorous, dramatic picture of the eternal battle between men and the cruel sea. (6 X 9, 360 pages)<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Here is a good book, and it merits the attention of those who love and respect the sea."--The New York Times<br>
