From Family History to Published Legacy

A Legacy Preserved in Print

Waves of Steel is a deeply personal World War II memoir that traces the extraordinary life of a skilled ship’s plater—from the bustling shipyards of Glasgow to the distant shores of Aruba and Canada.

Through the lens of one man’s journey, this story reveals the quiet heroism, craftsmanship, and resilience of those who worked behind the scenes to shape history.

From service in the Royal Volunteer Naval Reserve to work on legendary vessels like the HMS Hood, and through perilous moments including torpedo attacks and forced family separation aboard the SS Bolivar, this book brings to life the human stories hidden within history’s steel.

More than a war story, Waves of Steel is a powerful reminder of why preserving our family stories matters—because within them live courage, sacrifice, and legacy.
