Interesting quote from Halpern's book: "For both owners and crews, there were several good postwar years. Profitable cargoes aplenty meant profits for the shipping companies and steady employment for over 4,500 seamen."
Given that quote as fact,why would the government of that day have considered any need for re-establishment benefits?
