Australian label Imprint will be releasing "The Long Voyage Home" this May:

The Love of Women in Their Eyes…THE SALT OF THE SEA IN THEIR BLOOD!

The merchant ship Glencairn rolls and shivers in the black North Atlantic. On board, her anxious crewmen search the sky for German planes and hope they’ll survive The Long Voyage Home.
