Description

8vo., First Edition, with a frontispiece, 26 plates on 14, 5 illustrations and maps in the text, and endpaper diagrams; green cloth, gilt back, a very good, clean copy in worn and frayed dustwrapper. Well-written investigative account, by an established team, of the dramatic story of THETIS, lost on trials in Liverpool Bay in 1939 with the loss of ninety-nine lives. She was salved, renamed THUNDERBOLT, and served with distinction in the Mediterranean until her final loss with all hands in 1943. Increasingly elusive in this condition. Enser, p.419; Law, 1139.
