| Summary | "The Brighton Boys in the Submarine Treasure Ship" by James R. Driscoll is a novel written in the early 20th century. This adventurous tale revolves around two young U.S. Navy ensigns, Jay Thacker and Dick Monaghan, who have recently returned home from serving in the Great War. The book follows their exuberant spirits as they embark on a treasure-hunting mission involving sunken ships and the potential for uncovering lost wealth after they enlist in a salvage operation. At the start of the book, we find the main characters on the deck of the "Leviathan", a transport ship, spotting a derelict vessel in the water. This discovery sparks a discussion about the lost treasures of sunken ships, leading to their desire for summer employment in salvage operations. After returning to their hometown, they run into an old friend and learn about the existence of treasure from sunken cargo ships. Soon, they are offered a chance to join a salvage expedition aboard the submarine "Nemo", creating an exciting setup for their forthcoming underwater adventures. The opening chapters set a thrilling tone filled with camaraderie, excitement, and the promise of danger as they prepare to dive into the unknown depths of the sea.
