Inhaltsangabe

In a collision with a steamship, City of Rome, on the night of September 25, 1925, the U.S. Navy Submarine S-51 sank in 132 feet of water, taking 33 sailors to the ocean floor. This is the story of the men charged with doing the impossible—raising the thousand ton sub from the bottom of the sea. Added to this modern classic of true adventure are a foreword and afterword giving specifics of the accident and the aftermath, additional photographs, a publisher’s preface, and appendices.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Commander Edward Ellsberg graduated first in his class from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1914. In 1925, he led the effort to raise the S-51, for which he became the first sailor to earn the Distinguished Service Medal during peacetime, and was promoted to Commander by a special act of Congress. In the late 1920s, Ellsberg began his prolific career as a writer of Naval history and fiction.
