A gripping first-hand description of the salvage operations at the port of Massawa on the Red Sea coast of Eritrea during the early days of World War II. When forced from the region, Italian troops had scuttled many ships to block the important harbour, which was vital to the British war effort. Ellsberg, an American salvage officer, was placed in charge and a small group of workers under his direction accomplished an almost Herculean task with virtually no resources. The book paints a realistic picture of confusion and incompetence in the early days of the war.

pronunciation of marine terms was appalling but the story was ok, great for a free listen would have been less happy to have paid for it.

What a book! What a life Edward Ellsberg must have had. Despite all the goings on in war, this man and his team achieved something special. The ability to adopt and adapt is something else.
A proper tale with some great stories of the life of a naval salvage man. I cannot recommend this book enough! A must for anyone interested in engineering or history.

Absolutely brilliant

Hands down one of the best books I have enjoyed from Audible. A hidden gem that deserves far more recognition than it gets. Very well narrated but for the curious pronunciation of the word 'quays'. I cannot recommend this work highly enough.

Riveting, fascinating, inspiring, humbling

Well narrated, well written, well received. Excellent story worthy of any "Marvel" comic hero.
Impossible, but should be made into a film.
