New York: Dodd, Mead & Company. Very Good+. 1929. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Hardcover. This book is in Very Good+ condition and is lacking the dust jacket. The book and its contents are in clean, bright condition. There is some beginning rubbing and wear to the spine ends. The text pages are clean and bright. The front pastedown page includes a previous owner's inked name. "On a dark September night, with a cold breeze whipping up a choppy sea about fifteen miles to the eastward of Block Island, the steamship City of Rome plowed northward towards Boston." "Ellsberg was commissioned in the navy in 1914 and served on active duty until 1926. He became an expert in undersea salvage and rescue. In 1926, he raised the navy submarine, S-51. For that success he was promoted to the rank of commander by an Act of Congress and awarded the Distinguished Service Medal by the Navy Department, since which time he has been popularly known as "Commander Ellsberg", regardless of his rank. Ellsberg described the raising of the S-51 in his 1929 book, On the Bottom." .
