Product Description
It was as Commodore HMS Western Isles that Sir Gilbert Stephenson earned his nickname, 'The Terror of Tobermory'. Responsible for the training of new recruits in Tobermory harbour on the isle of Mull, Stephenson moulded hundreds of inexperienced recruits into trained and disciplined sailors. During the Battle of the Atlantic, ships manned by Tobermory-trained sailors were responsible for sinking at least one hundred and thirty enemy boats and shooting down over forty enemy aircraft.
Richard Baker served on convoy vessels during the war and was sent for training to Tobermory, where he first met this legendary figure. His book is less a formal biography than an attempt to capture the personality of one of the great characters of our time. Tobermory was the peak of Sir Gilbert's career, but the author does not neglect the rest of this remarkable man's life.
