Podcasts about Merchant navy

In this episode we explore a part of maritime history that has too often drifted beneath the surface: women who served at sea in the First and Second World Wars, and who died for their service. To find out more, Dr Sam Willis spoke with Nina Baker, author of a fabulous new book exploring the lives of those women. Nina has created the first complete list of all of these women and has written detailed profiles for those who were Scottish, bringing their stories to light for the first time. These are women who travelled and worked to survive, but disappeared doing so. By tracing those lives, Nina's work says a great deal about what their absences reveal about all sorts of things: danger, memory, class, migration, and of course, the human cost of maritime life. We hear about the research behind the book, the voices history chose to preserve, and of course, the ones it allowed to sink beneath the waves. We also explore why those stories matter now, and how recovering them changes the way we understand both the sea and the societies built around it. And just to make this episode even more interesting, if it's in any way possible, Nina herself has a great story: She became one of the first women navigation officers in the British Merchant Navy, a pioneer in opening up access to seafaring careers for women. She rose through the ranks of an industry that for centuries had been male dominated. She also shares some of her early maritime experiences. Her book is called “Supposed Killed or Drowned by Enemy Action at Sea” Scottish Merchant Navy women who died as a result of enemy action in the First and Second World Wars. Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of the Mariner's Mirror podcast, we explore the extraordinary life of Harold Derber — a British Merchant Navy veteran whose early training as a wireless operator during the Second World War set him on an unexpected and remarkable path. From the dangers of Atlantic convoys to the political turbulence of the Cold War, Derber's story moves far beyond the bridge of a ship.Derber would go on to become one of the pioneers of the modern drug trade, developing the concept of the “drug mothership” and operating a ghost fleet that supplied hundreds of tons of marijuana to post-war America. His journey took him from humble beginnings in Manchester to a violent end on the streets of Miami.To uncover this fascinating story linking maritime history and true crime, Dr Sam Willis spoke with author David Tuch, whose debut book The Wireless Operator investigates Derber's life in remarkable detail. Tuch also has a personal connection to the story — he is a descendant of the elusive smuggler himself. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

During the Cold War, some of the most dangerous encounters between East and West took place far beneath the ocean's surface. I speak with historian Dr. Paul Brown, author of Secret Warriors: British Submarines during the Cold War. Brown reveals the extraordinary covert missions carried out by Royal Navy submarines as they monitored Soviet naval bases near Murmansk and the Barents Sea. British boats gathered vital intelligence by recording the acoustic signatures of Soviet submarines, trailing enemy vessels, and observing major naval exercises. These missions were risky and occasionally resulted in collisions, such as the dramatic incident involving HMS Warspite in 1968. Along the way, Brown shares remarkable stories of Cold War espionage at sea, including a daring intelligence operation where a British submarine secretly observed the Soviet aircraft carrier Kiev from just a few feet away. This is a rare glimpse into one of the Cold War's most secretive battlefields: the depths of the ocean.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 25th February, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Gospel of Mark 13:34: “…and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch.” The Lord was talking about the man who went away and told each of his workers to do their work. Now I read something interesting from an unknown writer. This is what it says: “He does the most for God's great world who does the best in his own little world.” Maybe you are thinking today, “What do I contribute to God's kingdom? Nobody knows who I am. What is the point of my being alive?” Oh my dear friend, to everyone his own work for the Lord. I want to tell you a little story. My mom's brother was a Chief Engineer in the Merchant Navy during the Second World War. Now, the Merchant Navy had no way of defending itself against the enemy. They had no way of fighting back. What was their job? To bring food to Britain, because Britain was an island, and they had to bring food from America and Canada and all over, and they had no way. Those boats were so old and so rickety that they travelled so slowly that they were sitting ducks for the enemy. Now, my uncle was a Chief Engineer, so he never, ever came to the top when there was an alarm that there were submarines in the water. He had to stay under the water level with all his men and keep the engines going, because if the engines stopped, the boat would sink. No-one saw him. They all saw the Captain. The Captain was on the bridge. He was at the top, he was directing operations. Everyone saw the Captain, but no one saw the Engineer. They were under the water level.I want to tell you that God sees every single thing that you do. Maybe nobody else sees, but you don't want anybody else to see, do you? Because you want to get your reward when you get home to Heaven. So do your little bit. Do not despise small beginnings. Jesus Christ knows exactly what you are doing, and He loves you, and He is so proud of you. Remember, without the engine room that ship is going nowhere. Maybe that is your job. Keep the engine room going - intercessors, prayer warriors, workers in the background, because we love you very much.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.Goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 3rd of October, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go straight to the Book of Luke 23:50: “Now behold, there was a man named Joseph, a council member, a good and just man.” We are talking here about Joseph of Arimathea. He was one of Jesus' secret disciples. He was a member of the Sanhedrin yet he had the courage to go to Pontius Pilate and ask for the body of our beloved Saviour, and took the body down from the cross, you can read it yourself, and he wrapped it in linen. He laid it in his own personal tomb that had been hewn out of the rock, and where no-one had laid before, and he left Him there until the day of preparation.I want to say something to you today. There are many good and just men like Joseph of Arimathea in the Kingdom of God. It's just that you never hear about them. They work quietly, but they are the backbone of the church of Jesus Christ. Now, I want to tell you a little story. My mother only had one brother, his name was George. He was a Chief Engineer in the Merchant Navy during the Second World War. They used to take food to Britain because Britain was completely surrounded by the sea, and the ships that they sailed in had no defence system to speak of. They were very slow, but they brought food from America and from all over the world. When the siren went and there was an announcement that there were German U-boats in the sea, and their objective was to sink these ships, the Chief Engineer went down into the engine room, which was below water level. He closed a big steel door, he stood by the door and he told the workers to stoke the boilers, coal-fired ships in those days, and they had to keep on stoking that fire to keep the ship running. If those men had abandoned their positions and run on top, the ship would have come to a standstill and would have been torpedoed to the bottom of the sea. He would stand there, sometimes armed with a revolver, and said, “The first man that is going to leave his post, I will shoot!” He had to do that, and they would continue to keep the ship going.There are many of those engineers in God's army. This ministry has been going for 47 years and I want to tell you, it is the Josephs of Arimathea's that have kept this ministry going, no one else, and we thank God for every single member, men and women, who are continually supporting the work of the Lord, unseen. But God, through Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit, sees everything.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

Her family's bloodline, tracing back to early British royalty, Danish ancestry, and historical figures like Odin and Freya, marked her as a target for exploitation by secret societies, including Masonic and military networks. Unbeknownst to her as a child, this lineage, combined with her innate psychic abilities, would thrust her into a hidden world of ritualistic abuse and mind control programming.Lou's earliest years were shrouded in dissociation, a coping mechanism that veiled her memories until age nine. It was during a live TV appearance on a British talk show, Kilroy, that she first realized she had no recollection of her childhood - a stark revelation that her mind had locked away years of trauma. Raised in South London, Lou's home was a paradox of spiritual allure and dark undercurrents. Her mother, a spiritual channeler, practiced yoga, healing, and automatic writing, influenced by esoteric figures like Steven Jenkins, a Mongolian Buddhist and author, and Andrew Barti, a Grandmaster of the Knights of Malta - who was a frequent visitor to her home and one of her abusers - presenting himself as charitable while orchestrating ritualistic abuse of children behind the scenes. Her father - who was former Merchant Navy, worked at Shirley Oaks Children's home as a maintenance worker and builder, and was a former model with celebrity friends like David Prowse who played Darth Vader in Star Wars. This only added to the complicated family dynamics.Lou's earliest years were shrouded in dissociation, a coping mechanism that veiled her memories until age nine. It was during a live TV appearance on a British talk show, Kilroy, that she first realized she had no recollection of her childhood - a stark revelation that her mind had locked away years of trauma. Her childhood was punctuated by fragmented memories of horrific rituals - being tied up, hung upside down, subjected to electric shocks, and submerged in a cold water tank with a dead body. These experiences, often conducted in underground tunnels and other conspicuous locations, were part of a sophisticated, governmental programming system linked to Masonic lodges and military bases.

David recounts his experiences with the Royal Naval Reserve, particularly his time aboard the nuclear submarine, Valiant where we are treated to a behind-the-scenes look at Cold War-era missions, including covert operations.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Masonic and satanic ritual abuse, MK ULTRA and child trafficking survivor, overcomer and whistleblower, qualified Survival Instructor, Instructor for Hostile Environment Awareness Training, alpine climber, Tibetan medicine practitioner, adventure sport instructor, outdoor lover, my new friend, and all around badass and inspiration, LouLou was born into a multi-generational incest-based, bloodline family and is a survivor of the highest levels of Masonic and satanic ritual abuse and mind control and was the daughter of a channeler and healer mother and a father who was former Merchant Navy, worked at Shirley Oaks Children's home as a maintenance worker and builder, and who was a former model with celebrity friends like David Prowse who played Darth Vader in Star Wars. In early childhood, Lou was accepted into special school called Pilgrims as a child after testing off the charts for her IQ. Pilgrims was a school for children like her that had eczema, asthma and other conditions who were often used in medical research and experimentation among other types of child abuse. She realized at age 9 she had forgotten her past when on a live talk show she was asked a question about a childhood event and couldn't remember anything at all. Her mother's decades long friendship with a Grand Master Knight of Malta named Andrew Bertie led to further Lou's abuse and programming. She also was used for covert missions in her late teens and twenties - going to places like Lake Erie and the ecovillage of Canada where she was taught by people who had come up from a CIA training base. She also attended events as a child at Westminster Abbey with the Duchess of Kent and Pinewood Studios. After Lou's father died when she was 30, she discovered photos and exploitation material he had taken of her as a child, and it was then she discovered she had dissociation. Lou has done extensive healing and learning over the past few years to better understand what happened to her as a child and is still on her healing journey. Today is the first time Lou is publicly speaking out about what happened to her as a child and it's a great honor we get to learn about and hear her testimony for the first time. Lou believes its important people know the truth about the Grandmaster and Masonic orders practicing old Babylonian magic and every tradition - especially the left-hand path. There is such a veil over the eyes of society that such heinous abuse, crime and corruption could be at the highest levels of these secret societies and it's testimonies like Lou's that will help lift that veil from everyone's eyes. Lou is so brave and courageous for coming forth to share her testimony and I ask you all to please put away whatever you are doing give her your full attention as we shine a light on some dark topics and expose what's been hidden for far too long. It's time to make the world a better place for the children of the present and future and it's heroes like Lou who are going to make this dream a reality.CONNECT WITH LOU: Twitter: https://x.com/LouiseBrookes8CONNECT WITH THE IMAGINATION:EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationAll Links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastSupport the show

Join us on a transformative journey as we welcome Simon McCoy, a man whose life story reads like an epic adventure novel. From his early days in the merchant navy to hitchhiking across America and getting entangled in smuggling rings, Simon's path has been anything but ordinary.

We kick off with a grounding meditation exercise, setting the stage for Simon's riveting tales of risk, resilience, and transformation. In our exploration of the mind, we guide listeners through a psychological exercise that uncovers deep personal insights. Picture your dream house, walk through serene woods to a Caribbean beach, and discover what these symbols say about your inner world, personal relationships, and problem-solving approaches. Simon participates too, revealing his own contemplations and memories, including reflections on his father and youthful adventures. This segment promises to be a reflective and enriching experience, offering listeners a unique way to understand themselves better. The episode crescendos with gripping stories from Simon's life, from his rebellious youth and time in the merchant navy to his smuggling escapades and the trials of evading law enforcement. We also tackle contemporary issues like the inefficiencies of the banking system and the opioid crisis, exploring the potential benefits of drug legalization. With humor, honesty, and a touch of irony, Simon's anecdotes paint a vivid picture of a life lived on the edge, ultimately finding solace in spirituality and writing.

On the 2nd September 1942 in Loch Ewe, Scotland, a large convoy of ships carrying food, ammunition, tanks, artillery pieces and materiel set sail for Archangel, Russia. This convoy would be of vital importance to the Soviet troops fighting the Nazis at Stalingrad. The Germans did all they could to disrupt and destroy the ships of the Royal Navy and Merchant Navy, and many of the green recruits, at sea for the first time, had the freezing weather conditions to deal with as well as the enemy.

This leadership season continues with an esteemed leader in the maritime field, Captain Richard Bridge. Hailing from Cornwall, he has spent a lifetime dedicated to our oceans. His seafaring journey began at a young age when he joined the Merchant Navy, which ultimately saw him command some of the world's most prestigious cruise ships and expedition superyachts - including the 126-meter Octopus and 162-meter Eclipse, to name a few. He chats about some of his incredible adventures, involving the discovery of a World War 2 aircraft carrier wreck and continues to assemble and lead teams for these ambitious expeditions. Richard believes in learning something from the whole team, no matter what the size, something that has shaped his leadership style. He passionately advocates that the care and well-being of the crew are paramount, recognising that leaders must be in command but also willing to seek help and foster teamwork.With his fingers on the pulse of the maritime industry, Richard provides valuable insights into its future, highlighting the shift toward purpose-driven yacht ownership and commitment to exploration and sustainability. It is a thought-provoking episode for those leaders both in and out of the maritime industry, offering inspiring leadership advice.For more information on our leadership courses, click here.

Hello :) Well, this is an unusual episode in several ways, but the main one is the relative lack of personal updates and housekeeping. If you want to know what I've been up to this past month, now would be a great time to sign up to my monthly Newsletter, deets below! Now, I'm aware I don't talk about my background or my family much, save for the occasional regular subtweet to my my mother. But anyway. A couple of years after I was born, my mother re-married. And Gary, the chap she married, had an interesting job – he was a refrigeration engineer in the Merchant Navy. While he's long since left that role (he had some twenty-five years since doing the same role for a large supermarket chain specialising in frozen foods), this was how I first knew him, and thus may have been a childhood influence on my travels. And it occurred to me, after I'd done a few of my podcasts, that it would make an interesting episode – it's travel-related, it's a historic snapshot of a life that's very different now, and above all, it's not something I think many of you would necessarily know about. I certainly didn't know a lot about it growing up, and as you'll hear, there's probably some reasons for that. So a couple of years ago I went to visit, took my laptop and microphone, and set about interviewing him all about his life and his adventures. The full 2hr 11min interview is available on my Patreon, along with some images of the ships he served on. Note he has a strong accent and a slightly fluid way of speaking. This did not help the transcription. Topics discussed include: * What is the Merchant Navy and why he joined * Seasickness and bad weather * What problems could occur en route * How big the ships he served on were, and how they were structured * What the working life was life, and who he served with * Food and drink on board * How he'd pass the time on long journeys * Shore leave and visiting off-brochure places * The Merchant Navy now A PDF transcript of this podcast is available. As always, if you have anything to say about the topic, or indeed about my podcasting in general, leave a comment or let me know.

At the point at which this episode is published, Matt is on an expedition in Alaska directing a film for National Geographic. Instead of taking a break from weekly releases, we thought we'd share some of his favourite episodes from early on in the life of the podcast.Episode 154 is From The Archives and features Iain Miller. Iain is a sea kayaker and first-ascent sea stack climber. After twenty years sailing the world with the Merchant Navy, Iain made a home in western Donegal, and he has barely left since. Now, Iain's days are spent out in his kayak looking for unclimbed rock, and – in his own words – "Those moments in time that can't be replicated". This episode is a testament to the possibilities of a life of adventure close to home, but is also a deep reflection on the tolls of an institutionalised life that one feels trapped in, and how an eventual escape and reinvention can make all the difference.

A judge in Texas has ruled that women who experience pregnancy complications are temporarily exempt from the state's abortion bans. The ruling comes after a group of thirteen women and two doctors sued the state of Texas in March of this year, calling for a clarification of the law. However, the injunction is only temporary until the lawsuit is decided - and the state of Texas has appealed the ruling. Dr Emma Long, Associate Professor in American History and Politics at the University of East Anglia, joins Clare McDonnell to explain the significance of the ruling. Author and researcher Dr Julia Ebner has spent the last two years immersed in one of the darkest corners of the internet, the world of incels. She has been pretending to be an unhappily single, unemployed, male in his late 20s who is tired of feminism. This is part of her decade-long work going undercover investigating different extremist movements and how they pose a risk to democracy. Her new book, Going Mainstream, looks at the rapid spread of extremism into our mainstream social and political discourse. Chloe Matharu is an award-winning, singer songwriter and harpist. She has cultural roots in Scotland, Wales and the Punjab, and draws inspiration from her time in the Merchant Navy and the natural world as experienced at sea. Her debut album, Small Voyages, was selected for Celtic Music Radio's Album of the Year. At Celtic Connections she was awarded the revered Danny in February this year. She joins the programme live in the studio to talk about her music and to perform The Silkie of Sule Skerry. More than 60 women have made allegations of rape, sexual assault and sexual harassment against the US comedian and actor Bill Cosby. But only one woman, Andrea Constand, was able to gain a criminal conviction. In 2018, he was sent to prison for three to 10 years on three counts of aggravated indecent assault. At the time it was celebrated as a major win for the #MeToo movement. Less than three years later, he was freed when the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned his conviction on a legal technicality. In a new two-part documentary exclusively for ITVX from 10 August, The Case Against Cosby, Andrea tells her story. Presenter: Clare McDonnell Producer: Kirsty Starkey

My guest's name is frequently brought up on this podcast when I ask them which CDV they enjoyed working with, so I am very happy he agreed to share the first part of his story with us. Why just the first part? Well, he worked for Club Med from 1967 to 1999 and spent twenty of those years as a Legendary Chief of Village! His first season was in 1967 in Club Med Caprera in Sardinia, Italy as a Scuba G.O. Everyone, please help me welcome the amazing, Mike Coltman!! I hope you are sitting comfortably because Mike came with some stories!! It's impossible to take a distinguished career like Mike's and condense it to one hour, so Mike will be back at a later date to talk about his Chief of Village years. Before Club Med, a leg injury curtailed his burgeoning football career, so he went into the Merchant Navy as an Engineer Officer. But a chance viewing of “Thunderball” in 1965 starring Sean Connery as James Bond and being entranced by the underwater scenes, led Mike to scuba diving. Twelve months later from that viewing, Mike was a certified Scuba Instructor. What's included in this interview? Well, if you worked in Martinique as I did, you probably wondered where those cannons came from. Wonder no more, because Mike helped in raising those cannons to the surface from the Diamond Rock dive site!! He tells the amazing tale of how they found the cannons and the incredible amount of work it took to raise them. Mike also opened the village of Club Med Fort Royal in Guadeloupe in 1969/1970 and lets us know in vivid detail what that was like. So many stories in one hour, too numerous to mention here! Mike also worked with a lot of the legendary Chief of Villages back in the day, so if you are a Club Med historian, you will love this episode! **My First Season podcast has always been ad-free and free to listen to and is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Samsung Podcasts, Podbean App, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, TuneIn + Alexa, iHeartRadio, PlayerFM, Pandora and Listen Notes.

Redburn. His First Voyage Being the Sailor Boy Confessions and Reminiscences of the Son-Of-A-Gentleman in the Merchant Navy

During the Second World War, the Royal Canadian Navy lost 24 warships, costing Canada more than 2,000 souls. The Merchant Navy lost 58 ships and more than 1,000 lives. But they did their job which was to escort more than 25,000 merchant ships across the Atlantic during perilous times. Military historian Ted Barris chronicles those missions in his new book, "Battle of the Atlantic: Gauntlet to Victory."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 20: Shackleton   If there was ever a man with a sense of adventure and a roaming spirit, it was Earnest Shackleton.  Earnest left school at the age of 16 to join the Merchant Navy. After that, he spent four years learning his trade as an apprentice on a square-rigged sailing ship. He then trained to be an officer, working his way up through the ranks. In 1898 he earned his master mariner certificate and got a job as an officer on the Union Castle line.  He primarily did the sailing route between London and South Africa.  Shackleton was a man of resolute character. And just a few weeks ago, we were reminded of the perseverance of Shackleton and his crew.
