Published in 1916, while the war it describes was still being fought, this story follows young Mark among the trawlers and shrimpers of the North Sea fishing grounds. A discovery in a pigeon loft, the menace of German mines, mine-sweeping under the White Ensign and a submarine attack on the shrimper Kingfisher draw him from the Dogger Bank into the naval war itself.
Wartime boys’ adventure from the Great War’s first years, alive with the fishing fleet’s part in the struggle at sea. Download the free EPUB.
