   My dad was a stoker on merchant ships before, during (1939-1945) and after the war. He was on many convoys, transatlantic, South African and coastal, and his ships were torpedoed twice. He had many stories about those times, but I was really too young to take them in. Laterly, the Internet has allowed me search on some of the incidents he described, and he was accurate. It was also interesting to see pictures of some of the ships he was on: from (apparent) rust-buckets to the ‘Queens’.
