Low stock: 1 left
It was as Commodore HMS Western Isles that Sir Gilbert Stephenson earned his nickname, 'The Terror of Tobermory'. Responsible for the training of new recruits in Tobermory harbor on the isle of Mull, Stephenson molded hundreds of inexperienced recruits in to trained and disciplined sailors.During the Battle of the Atlantic, ships manned by Tobermory-trained sailors were responsible for sinking at least one hundred and fifty enemy U-boats and shooting down over forty enemy aircraft.Richard Baker served on convoy vessels during the war and was sent for training to Tobermory, where he first met this legendry figure. His book is an attempt to capture the personality of one of the great characters of our time.
