There is a Netflix movie "War Sailor" which I would highly recommend. It is about the Norwegian Merchant Marines and the losses they incurred. https://www.netflix.com/title/81643922
Interesting views and opinions of New Ipswich. My father worked at Hedstrom Union in Fitchburg making parts for the P51. I remember the rationing. My father gave rides to others who also worked in Fitchburg.
