On the afternoon of 2 October 1942; the cruiser HMS Curacoa was to rendezvous with the Queen Mary; one of the largest liners afloat; to escort the passenger ship and her cargo of nearly 10;000 U.S. troops to Great Britain. With no hint of danger; the 81;237-ton liner came down on the cruiser and sliced her in half. Nearly 340 men died; almost all within minutes of the collision. This is a full; detailed account of the disaster.

My lineBy Janelle StimsonSince he is in my line and he came over on the Mayflower it is extremely interesting. My direct line off the boat is William White. My mother started all this before she passed 3 years ago. As I read more and more about William White I don't know if she has the correct one. I guess there is one from Leiden and one from London. How do you split them up? Do you know a good book or any authority on this line? That means that our William was not married to Susannah Fuller. Any help out there?1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. historyBy jakeAnyone who wants to know the history of their country and the truth about what the pilgrims went through to make a life here should read this.
