George Myatt served in Canada’s merchant marine during WW2. As such, George was a crewman aboard a number of cargo vessels, and he visited many ports of call around the world, especially in Europe and Africa. George saw his share of danger working in this often neglected part of canada’s military force; one ship he was on was torpedoed, and he and two other crewmen were the only survivors. They were adrift on the Atlantic for three days before being rescued, and George was lucky to go on to a full recovery.

George was interviewed for this project by Crestwood student Nick Andreoli.
