HTML:<p><b>From award-winning author Deborah Heiligman comes <i>Torpedoed</i>, a true account of the attack and sinking of the passenger ship SS <i>City of Benares</i>, which was evacuating children from England during WWII.</b><br /> 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 <i>City of Benares</i> set out in a convoy of nineteen ships sailing for Canada. On board were ninety CORB children, chaperones, and crew, along with paying passengers.<br /> When the war ships escorting the <i>Benares</i> to safe waters peeled off and the way forward seemed certain, a German submarine attacked and torpedoed the <i>Benares</i>. What followed is an amazing example of all that people are capable of—the worst, and the best.</p>. Media Type: Audiobook. Importer Version: 2014-01-08.01 Import Date: 2022-07-24 20:00:02.
