About this book
In the shadow of World War I, as naval warfare evolved, the British employed innovative tactics to counter U-boat threats. "The Mystery Ship: A Story of the 'Q' Ships During the Great War" by Percy F. Westerman immerses readers in the daring exploits of sub-lieutenants Kenneth Meredith and Jock McIntosh aboard a Q-ship, a deceptive vessel designed to lure enemy submarines. This gripping narrative reveals the strategic use of camouflage and the psychological warfare that defined maritime conflict during this era. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this novel not only entertains but also educates about a lesser-known facet of naval history, showcasing the bravery and ingenuity of those who served on the front lines of the sea.
