Description
Men Under The Sea by Commander Edward Ellsberg
Commander Edward Ellsberg rose to fame after leading the harrowing effort to raise the sunken submarine S-51 just off Long Island and the tale of the submarine S-4, which sank after a collision 40 sailors aboard. Ellsberg relates stories of the most famous underwater missions in history, such as men submerging deep to recover £5 million worth of gold from the wreck of the Laurentic, bringing vast treasures from the ocean bottom, and diving to rescue 33 survivors from the stricken submarine Squalus. Ellsberg’s experience, and natural narrative talent turn Men Under the Sea into an unforgettable voyage. “Ellsberg’s writings chronicled his experiences and attitudes on the topic of marine salvage in a manner which has no equal in naval literature.” —War History Online
