Скачать или смотреть The Ship Left for Dead… That Came Back

In one of the most incredible and heroic episodes of World War II, the British merchant vessel MV San Demetrio was set ablaze and abandoned after a fierce attack by the German pocket battleship Admiral Scheer. With fire raging and ammunition onboard, the crew had no choice but to take to the lifeboats.

But days later, something extraordinary happened...

Adrift in the icy North Atlantic, several crew members spotted a ship on the horizon—it was their own, still afloat, still burning. With no officers aboard, no navigation charts, and no real hope of rescue, they made an unthinkable decision: they would reboard the San Demetrio and try to save her.

This is the astonishing true story of courage, survival, and seamanship under fire.
Discover how a handful of men battled flames, freezing weather, and the open ocean to bring a dying ship back to life.
