Timeline
American naval officer and novelist Edward Ellsberg was born in New Haven, CT, in 1891. When he was a year old his family moved to Denver, CO, where he grew up.
He took an early interest in sailing and the sea, and while a freshman at the University of Colorado in 1910 he secured an appointment to the US Naval Academy at Annapolis, MD, graduating in 1914. He was assigned as Assistant Navigator on the USS Texas, later becoming the ship's torpedo officer, turret officer and defense officer for the broadside torpedo defense batteries.
In 1916 he was assigned to the Naval Construction Corps, later being transferred to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to take a two-year course in naval architecture.
He began writing stories centered on the sea and the ships that sail them as early as 1916, when he sold a story to the "Youth's Companion" magazine.
When the US entered World War I in 1917, Ellsberg was assigned to the Brooklyn (NY) Navy Yard, in charge of reconditioning and refitting seized German passenger liners as troop transports. He later was assigned to the fitting and operation of minesweepers.
In 1918 he was assigned to help in the construction of the battleship USS Tennessee.
In 1920 he became Planning Superintendent at the Boston (MA) Navy Yard.
In 1925 the US Navy submarine S-1 sank, and Ellsberg was assigned as Salvage Officer in the eventually successful effort to recover the sub from the ocean floor. The next year Ellsberg resigned his commission in the navy and went to work for an oil company as its chief engineer.
In 1927 the US submarine S-4 was rammed and sank, and Ellsberg was temporarily called back into the navy to help in that craft's recovery.
U.S. naval officer and naval-salvage expert whose engineering feats made him famous, such as running the nearly ten-month-long salvage operation of the submarine S-51, which had sunk off of Block Island. He resigned from the Navy with the rank of commander, but was recalled less than three years later to lead the rescue of the S-4, capsized near Cape Cod, an arduous experience he described in his book 'On the Bottom' (1929). He went on to become a popular writer of adventure stories for teenagers.
He resigned from the oil company in 1935 and became an independent consulting engineer. He and his wife eventually retired to Westfield, NJ, where he was for many years a member of the local Board of Education.
