The Maritime Museum of BC is Looking for Stories From World War II Convoys

One of the biggest maritime tragedies in World War II is the story of convoy PQ-17 which carried relief supplies to the Russians. In July 1942, this convoy travelling from Iceland to Russia was attacked by German forces. Upon receiving intelligence, the escorts were ordered to withdraw and 22 out of the 33 ships in the convoy were sunk.

Winston Churchill described the incident as “one of the most melancholy naval episodes in the whole of the war.”
