[[William Laurence]] served on the Normandy as a second lieutenant under Captain Yarrow. During a voyage in the Atlantic, the ship ran onto a reef and left them wrecked on an island 700 miles from Rio. Laurence successfully effected a rescue, which he credited with his subsequent promotion to first lieutenant. | [[William Laurence]] served on the Normandy as a second lieutenant under Captain Yarrow.
