Publisher's Synopsis

""My Mystery Ships"" is a book written by Gordon Campbell that delves into the history of the British Navy during World War I. The book focuses on a particular group of ships that were designed and built in secrecy to combat the German U-boats that were wreaking havoc on British supply lines. These ships, known as mystery ships, were disguised as harmless merchant vessels but were actually heavily armed warships. Campbell provides a detailed account of the development, deployment, and successes of these mystery ships. He also includes firsthand accounts from sailors who served on these vessels and describes the dangerous and often deadly missions they undertook. Throughout the book, Campbell highlights the bravery and ingenuity of the sailors who served on these ships and the impact they had on the outcome of the war. He also explores the political and strategic considerations that led to the creation of the mystery ships and the challenges they faced in their efforts to outsmart the German U-boats. Overall, ""My Mystery Ships"" offers a fascinating look at a little-known aspect of World War I naval history and sheds light on the important role these ships played in securing victory for the British Navy.This is a new release of the original 1929 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
