Dreadnoughts of the Dogger: A Story of the War on the North Sea

A group of coastal youths and reservists become embroiled in wartime naval operations after enemy mine-laying threatens local fishing and warships. They help convert trawlers into mine-sweepers, assist wounded sailors, and gather intelligence about a suspicious German agent and his son. The narrative follows perilous missions at sea—mine-sweeping, encounters with submarines and destroyers, raids, captures, escapes, and a climactic dreadnought engagement—while tracing loyalties, courage, and the practical work of naval auxiliaries. Episodes range from small-town signal stations to hideouts, shelters, and prison camps, culminating in attempts to bring the vulnerable to safety and reckon with divided allegiances.
