About The Author
David Parry
Dr David Parry hails from a Liverpool Merchant Navy family and was schooled at the pre-sea training school, HMS Conway, but instead of the Merchant Navy he chose the Royal Navy. In the Navy he specialised in navigation and submarines, taking his ‘Perisher’ in 1978 from whence he went to submarine command before leaving the Navy prematurely. In retirement he took his hobby of maritime history a step further with a Master’s degree at the University of Greenwich having his dissertation about the escape of merchant ships from the Baltic in WW1 published by the Swedish National Maritime Museum. He then went on to study for a PhD at King’s College London.
