Sailors rescued by fishing boats during the First World War demonstrate bravery and compassion even amid chaos and destruction. These tales serve as beacons of hope amidst turbulent waters. The RMS Empress of Britain, once a majestic ocean liner traversing vast oceans with grace and elegance, fell victim to an enemy torpedo attack - a stark reminder that no vessel was immune from this devastating fate.
