\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In Grey Seas Under, Farley Mowat writes passionately of the courage
\nof men and of a small, ocean-going salvage tug, Foundation Franklin.
\nFrom 1930 until her final voyage in 1948, the stalwart tug’s dangerous
\nmission was to rescue sinking ships, first searching for them in
\nperilous waters and then bringing them back to shore. Battered by
\ntowering waves, dwarfed by the great ships she towed, blasted by
\ngale-force winds and frozen by squalls of snow and rain, Foundation
\nFranklin and her brave crew saved hundreds of vessels and thousands of
\nlives as they patrolled the North Atlantic, including waters patrolled
\nby U-boats in wartime. <\/p>\n

Mowat spent two years gathering this
\nmaterial and sailed on some of the missions he describes. The result is a
\n modern epic-a vigorous, dramatic picture of the eternal battle between
\nmen and the cruel sea.<\/p>\n

\"\"“The Serpent’s Coil” is a companion book to “Grey Seas Under” and
\ncontinues the story of ocean-going salvage tug operations in the
\nAtlantic. “Grey Seas Under” chronicled the adventures of the tugboat
\n`Foundation Franklin’ before and during World War II. “The Serpent’s
\nCoil” takes place after the war and tells the tale of ships battered by
\nthe consuming fury of not one but three hurricanes  in the autumn of 1948.<\/p>\n
