Bob. This thread label below might put you in picture of what went on 1943 when Empress of Canada was hit by torpedoes. Many posts by relatives of those who ended up in shark infested waters. Not enought lifeboats to go around.
I was also told by Capt W that when he arrived back in England, his father a doctor stuck a needle in him and knocked him out for a few days so he got a good rest before he went back to sea. I believe he was just 16 years after he joined MN (Canadian Pacific) after attending Conway MN school. Bit different from today's " must have a PTSD label handed out virtually automatically counselling in anyone has suffered the least traumatic situation, which quite often makes matters 20 times worse.
