    William Bruce Wetherall (Primary Source)

    In April 2012, The Memory Project interviewed William Bruce Wetherall, a veteran of the Second World War. The following recording (and transcript) is an excerpt from this interview. Born on 11 June 1924, Wetherall was living on his family’s farm in Waterdown, Ontario, when he joined the merchant navy. He served on Parks-class ships from 1941 to 1945. In this testimony, he recalls his experiences in the merchant navy, including a violent storm in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and losses to U-boat attacks (see Battle of the Atlantic). Wetherall was on a wireless operators’ course in Toronto, Ontario, when his ship, the SS Point Pleasant Park, was torpedoed by German submarine U-510 in February 1945. After the war, Wetherall worked for Ford Canada, retiring in 1985. He died on 16 September 2012.
