The historic metropolitan area of Derry or Londonderry is Ireland's first inner-city and has witnessed a wonderful agreement of strife in its 4,000 time period history, but none rather as historic as what occurred in May 1945.

Derry or Londonderry as it has been multifariously called in its interminable past times was the major marina on the North Atlantic group itinerary from The USA and Canada. It was the prime fail-safe coast after the 3,000 and more risky miles from Newfoundland.

Bringing in food via this trunk road was critical to the war shot of the allies, more than ever to the create up to the D Day landings at Normandy, on the northern coastline of France, in June 1944. Knowing how beloved this equip seam was, the Nazis did all they could to discontinue it by engaged their best murderous packs of U-boat submarines to path and sink countless ships near the loss of thousands of lives.
