Missing - A Story of American Merchant Mariners in WWII
Year: 2004 Language: english Author: Norma Andreasen Genre: History Publisher: CreateSpace, North Charleston, NC Edition: First ISBN: 978-1-4664-85426 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 132 Description: According to the author, this book is dedicated to the author’s father, Hans Didrik Andreasen, and to the 59 other souls who lost their lives on the “Esso Williamsburg” in September of 1942, and to her mother, Anna Cecilia Olesen-Andreasen, who valiantly took over the family helm when the family Captain was lost. The author says that she is aware that there are still so many families and friends of American Merchant Mariners lost in World War II who, as of the date of the release of this edition (2004), still had no knowledge of when and how their loved ones died. Therefore, she wrote this book as a key to ways in which the truth could be discovered, even after more than a half century had passed. Moreover, the author says that this book was made possible by the generous contributions of time, letters, e-mails, photos, and documents by people desirous of seeing the story of the “Esso Williamsburg” made public for recognition of the sacrifice made by the men of her crew, and for the sake of historical accuracy relating to the sacrifices made by the men of the U. S. Merchant Marines in World War II. I believe that this book will be an interesting read for all the Merchant Mariners, as it reveals what really happened to so many brave souls and their ships during the Battle of the Atlantic.
