A 1941 photograph taken from the battleship HMS King George V and showing ships of a North Atlantic convoy during the Second World [War](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/War/) (1939-45). Convoys were essential to get vital supplies and weaponry from North America to [Britain](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Britain/) during the war but they were frequent targets of German [U-boat](https://www.worldhistory.org/U-Boat/) submarines.
