The Rye Public Library Military Book Group has chosen “The Grey Seas Under“ by Farley Mowat as the title for their September 6 discussion at 6:30 PM.
Released in 1958 and 1961, respectively, these books are Mowat’s paean to tugboats of the North Atlantic. Though often overlooked, these vessels have rescued thousands of stranded ships from watery graves. Mowat proves that being a member of a deep-water tug crew is one of the most dangerous jobs a sailor can have during peacetime.
