Jim is right. The film is well worth seeing for anyone who likes maritime history or sea songs. It meanders a bit over a big topic but some of the archive film footage of sinking ships, rescues in heavy seas and Mulberry Harbour Caissons under tow to Normandy is truly spectacular, Best of all though are the interviews with Rescue Tug Veterans (including many Yorkshiremen) who tell their own dramatic stories in plain and unvarnished language. Jim's two songs (including the one that won last year's Song for the Sea competition at Scarborough) are also worth hearing. They turned the soundtrack off and Jim sang the SHORES OF NORMANDY live at the film screening I saw in Hull last month.

To hear a few verses of Jim's song and to get a flavour of the film you can go to http://www.maydaytugsofwar.com/trailers/
