Storm Below

Published in 1949, Storm Below tells the story of a fictional Royal Canadian Navy ship HMCS Riverford, which is a composite of the vessels Hugh Garner served on during his time in the Canadian navy. The adventure unfolds over six days of an escort run across the Atlantic Ocean to Newfoundland during World War II.
