Dangerous Voyaging shows what it was like to be at sea during the Second World War: particularly in the early years when the u-boats had the upper hand and naval escorts were in such short supply that the merchant ships had little or no protection. And, if this weren't bad enough, a seaman's wages stopped when his ship was sunk; on the grounds that he had ceased working for his employer.
