The submarine set its sights on the freighter Heredia. Most onboard were merchant seamen, but there were also civilians, including the Downs family: Ray and Ina, and their two children. Fast asleep in their berths, the Downs family had no idea that two torpedoes were heading their way. When the ship exploded, chaos ensuedand each family member had to find their own path to survival. This inspiring historical narrative tells the story of the Downs family as they struggle against sharks, hypothermia, blinding oil, drowning, and dehydration in their effort to survive the aftermath of this deadly attack off the American coast. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 199-205). 505 0 $a A tired old workhorse -- Ina and the South American venture -- War worries and thinking of home -- Admiral Donitz and his Grey Wolves -- Harro Schacht and U-507 -- The Grey Wolves and the Mississippi -- Moving ever closer -- Closer to home or something unusual in the water -- An uneasy feeling -- Torpedoes in the night -- Ina, Lucille and a sinking ship -- The raft -- A most hopeless night -- Battling the cold -- Dawn -- Desperation -- Running Out of Time -- Sharks, Dolphins and Birds Far Away -- Something in the sky -- A silent vigil -- A wavering light -- Triumphant return to Lorient -- Morgan City, Louisiana and the hospital -- Recovery -- The family's resilience & the move to St. Augustine, Florida. 600 30 $a Downs family $v Juvenile literature. 600 10 $a Downs, Raymond, $c Sr. $x Family $v Juvenile literature. 610 20 $a Heredia (Ship) $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Submarine $x Submarine $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Shipwreck survival $z Mexico, Gulf of $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Survival at sea $z Mexico, Gulf of $v Juvenile literature. 610 20 $a U-506 (Submarine) $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Naval operations, German $v Juvenile literature. 700 1 $a O'Leary, Alison, $e author. 941 $a 20 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409040222.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305021117.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629014814.0 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210023555.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201022638.0 952 $l KOPC446 $d 20220104012942.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20211020010757.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20210902011841.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722063947.0 952 $l SWPB124 $d 20210604011433.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20210604011306.0 952 $l XSPE157 $d 20210603021327.0 952 $l BLPC611 $d 20210601010310.0 952 $l WUPB305 $d 20210504013144.0 952 $l VZPB964 $d 20210427011754.0 952 $l ZKPC437 $d 20210225011052.0 952 $l YUPD232 $d 20210225011021.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210202014800.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20210130011413.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20201103012334.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4DAFFE6E1DA411EBAAA0CA112BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
