The Ship That Died of Shame, released in the United States as PT Raiders, is a black-and-white 1955 Ealing Studios crime film directed by Basil Dearden and starring Richard Attenborough, George Baker, Bill Owen and Virginia McKenna.[1]

The film is based on a story written by Nicholas Monsarrat (author of The Cruel Sea), which originally appeared in Lilliput magazine in 1952. It was later published in a collection of short stories, The Ship That Died of Shame and other stories, in 1959.[2] After the war, the crew of a gun boat turn their hand to black market smuggling, but their previously reliable craft begins to let them down.
