| 520 | _a"The Wrecking Master" by Ralph Delahaye Paine is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the adventures and challenges faced by Captain Jim Wetherly, the master of the tug "Resolute", and his young deckhand, Dan Frazier. Set against the backdrop of the perilous Florida Reef, the narrative explores themes of loyalty, suspicion, and the moral dilemmas of wrecking masters who salvage ships in distress, bringing to light the darker side of maritime trade. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Captain Wetherly and Dan Frazier as they navigate the foggy harbor of Pensacola after rescuing a dismasted bark. During this tense moment, they collide with a small boat, which leads to the rescue of two men, one being Jeremiah Pringle, a notorious wrecking master. Suspicions arise about Pringle's actions and those of Captain Bruce of the "Kenilworth", who seems to have ulterior motives. As Dan grapples with the implications of his uncle's suspicions and his friendship with Pringle's son, the stage is set for a gripping tale of adventure, intrigue, and the moral quandaries presented in the world of wrecking.
