More about the book
The USS Barry toured post WWII Northern Europe on a people-to-people cruise initiated by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The ship's crew was to spread good will among the nations that they visited. Their ports of call Portsmouth, England; Kiel, Germany; Rotterdam, Netherlands; Helsinki, Finland; Stockholm, Sweden; Copenhagen, Denmark; Cowes, England; Penzance, England; Brest, France; Lisbon, Portugal. It was the first time that a US warship had visited many of these ports since the end of the war. The author, then a 23 year old 3rd class Sonarman, kept a journal of his experiences and the people he met from the beginning to the end of that cruise.
