Twelve Desperate Miles is one of the strangest and most stirring stories of the sea ever to come out of the war. It is the real life story of the battered little tramp steamer; a crew picked up from the ends of the earth, a skilful and courageous skipper and how between them they kept a blind date that was destined to make history.
