In 1942 the RN began to receive small craft from the US for harbour duties. Volunteer ferry crews were raised from the Small Vessels Pool set up for the Dunkirk evacuation. This is the story of the long voyage of HM Fleet Tender 22 from New York to Malta via the South Atlantic, in late 1943, under the captaincy of Temporary Lieutenant (RNVR) Admiral the Honourable Sir Herbert Meade Featherstonhaugh, GCVO, CB, DSO. A splendid tale.
