At one time British ships carried half of the world’s trade, transporting every conceivable type of freight from and to all four corners of the globe and in times of crisis the merchant fleet has also offered military assistance. In fact, the merchant convoys and armed cruisers that defied the German blockades to supply Britain in the First World War were so pivotal that they were recognised as a second ‘navy’ the Merchant Navy.
