Irving Hancock is a naval adventure novel written in the early 20th century.

Along with his close friend Dan Dalzell, Darrin navigates perilous waters while combating German naval forces and dealing with the complexities of war on the high seas. The opening of the novel sets the stage for an intense and suspenseful journey as Darrin receives orders to protect British mine-sweepers from German threats while also seeking to counter enemy mine-laying activities.
