By Maurice Larrouy

Book Overview

The Odyssey Of A Torpedoed Transport is a historical book written by Maurice Larrouy in 1918. The book tells the story of a French transport ship named ""La Provence"" that was torpedoed by a German submarine during World War I. The ship was carrying over 3,000 passengers, including soldiers, civilians, and prisoners of war. The book describes the chaos and confusion that ensued after the attack, as survivors struggled to escape the sinking ship and find safety. Many were forced to jump into the cold, dark waters of the Atlantic Ocean, where they faced the threat of drowning or being attacked by sharks. The Odyssey Of A Torpedoed Transport also explores the aftermath of the attack, as survivors were rescued and taken to hospitals or internment camps. The book provides a vivid and detailed account of the experiences of those who were on board La Provence, and offers a unique perspective on the horrors of war and the resilience of the human spirit. Overall, The Odyssey Of A Torpedoed Transport is a gripping and emotional account of a tragic event in history, and is a must-read for anyone interested in World War I or naval history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
