Recorded talk by Lieut. John D. Drummond, R.N.V.R.
In this war, as in the last, the services rendered by the men of the little ships have proved of incalculable value. Their tasks are not always spectacular, though on their long voyages in northern waters-particularly on the run to Russia-they have had their share of peril and excitement.
Many of these little ships are converted deep-sea trawlers ; others are newly constructed; all are manned by wartime sailors who have been drawn from every walk of life.
