WWII PQ 17 convoy to Murmansk aboard a Norwegian freighter. One of several Norwegian films to come out regarding WWII. Found it enjoyable to watch although a little mellow dramatic at times. There is a woman wireless operator aboard which depicts Canadian Fern Blodgett Sunde. She was the first Canadian woman to earn a second-class wireless operator's certificate, the first Canadian woman to serve with the merchant marines during the Second World War, and the first woman to serve as a wireless radio operator at sea. This monument is to her in Victoria Park, Canada.
