The SS City of Benares was born in the optimism of the interwar years. Launched in 1936 for the Ellerman Line, she embodied reliability, elegance, and the promise of safe passage between Britain and its empire. With her sleek twin funnels and polished interiors, she seemed destined to carry families, officials, and traders eastward in comfort.

Ronald McGinnis Sr. shares his journey from the streets in Houston to the ranks of the U.S. Navy, offering lessons learned through hardship, prayer, and the quiet strength of those who came before him.
