Excerpt from The Treasure Divers: A Boy's Adventures in the Depths of the Sea The ingenuity of modern dredge makers, some light has been thrown upon that great mystery, the abysmal region of the sea. Investigators have probed the ocean bed four or five miles from the surface, and by means of dredges have ascertained that this region, where the temperature is just above freezing, where the pressure pow ders glass, is inhabited by marvellous animals adapted to the peculiar conditions, and en abled in many instances to communicate one with the other by means of phosphor escent lights. The object of the present volume is to present a vivid picture of life under the sea as it is now understood by the aid of the deep-sea dredging of the British ship Challenger, our own Alba tross, and the French ships Talisman and.

Harry E. Rieseberg's autobiographical writings include stories like being attacked by a giant octopus while recovering sunken treasure, defending himself from an attack by a 15-foot shark with only a diving knife, and surviving a hurricane and a severely broken leg while at sea--all captivating tales for audiences in the 1940s and 1950s, and all invented by a very successful charlatan. This is a biography of Harry E. Rieseberg, a shameless self-promoter who passed himself off as the world's greatest treasure salvor but who never got wet. His entire public persona was based on stories he retold in dozens of books and thousands of articles in which he made claims of feats that were fantasy but sold as fact. Despite the often-obvious facts of his fabrication, his books influenced a generation of legitimate divers and underwater archaeologists like Sir Robert Marx and Robert Stenuit. Thoroughly researched, this book uses sources including his personal records and letters to his agents to provide deep insight into the nature of his life and the way he created a false persona for popular consumption.
