Book excerpt: "Decades represents an editor's choice of the best of the many outstanding images that have appeared in Know Your Ships since its founding in 1959. Selecting them was both challenging and an amazing walk down memory lane. Sadly, many familiar vessels have disappeared from the shipping scene, replaced by even bigger boats representing an ever-dwindling number of companies. The photos have been generally arranged in the decade in which they appeared in the book, but exceptions were made to help illustrate the accompanying narrative. Founder Tom Manse took most of the photographs in the early years, and much of his fine work is represented in the initial sections of the book. As the number of pages grew and the cost of reproducing images fell, more pictures could be included. The past 20 years have seen an explosion of photos submitted thanks to the ease of digital imaging. In making this book, nearly 2000 images were considered, and many of the older ones were rescanned to yield the best quality possible given the age of some of the originals. We hope you enjoy the results." -- page iii

Download or read book All Ships Follow Me written by Mieke Eerkens and published by Picador. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An engrossing, epic saga of one family’s experiences on both sides of WWII, All Ships Follow Me questions our common narrative of the conflict and our stark notions of victim and perpetrator, while tracing the lasting effects of war through several generations. In March 1942, Mieke Eerkens’ father was a ten-year-old boy living in the Dutch East Indies. When the Japanese invaded the island he, his family, and one hundred thousand other Dutch civilians were interned in a concentration camp and forced into hard labor for three years. After the Japanese surrendered, Mieke’s father and his family were set free in a country that plunged immediately into civil war. Across the globe in the Netherlands, police carried a crying five-year-old girl out of her home at war’s end, abandoned and ostracized as a daughter of Nazi sympathizers. This was Mieke's mother. She would be left on the street in front of her sealed home as her parents were taken away and imprisoned in the same camps where the country’s Jews had recently been held. Many years later, Mieke’s parents met, got married, and moved to California, where she and her siblings were born. While her parents lived far from the events of their past, the effects of the war would continue to be felt in their daily lives and in the lives of their children. All Ships Follow Me moves from Indonesia to the Netherlands to the United States, and spans generations, as Mieke recounts her parents' lives during and just after the war, and travels with them in the present day to the sites of their childhood in an attempt to understand their experiences and how it formed them. All Ships Follow Me is a deeply personal, sweeping saga of the wounds of war, and the way trauma can be passed down through generations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From award-winning author Deborah Heiligman comes Torpedoed, a true account of the attack and sinking of the passenger ship SS City of Benares, which was evacuating children from England during WWII. Amid the constant rain of German bombs and the escalating violence of World War II, British parents by the thousands chose to send their children out of the country: the wealthy, independently; the poor, through a government relocation program called CORB. In September 1940, passenger liner SS City of Benares set sail for Canada with one hundred children on board. When the war ships escorting the Benares departed, a German submarine torpedoed what became known as the Children's Ship. Out of tragedy, ordinary people became heroes. This is their story. This title has Common Core connections.
