Set in August and September 1939, Innes’ hero, newspaperman Walter Craig, on a seaside holiday on the coast of Cornwall, discovers a secret German U-boat base carved out of a disused Cornish tin mine with its entrance through an undersea cave.
Submarines exiting from the secret base wreak havoc with English shipping as soon as War breaks out (indeed, Innes has one of the base’s U-boats accounting for the infamous September 1939 sinking of the liner ATHENIA), and then set their sights on a British warship flotilla expected to soon sail through the English Channel.
Also of great interest to today’s reader is Innes’ account of the last days of peace in August 1939 as lived by his alter-ego Craig.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: The Wreck of the Mary Deare
With two legendary stars and a healthy dose of ocean-going suspense, Michael Anderson's The Wreck of the Mary Deare (1959) is a reliable bit of cinematic entertainment, thanks in part to the script, sourced from the novel of the same name by British author Hammond Innes.
While not a major figure in popular fiction, Innes specialized in tales of the sea, and his plotting is largely similar to the lean, masculine craft of Alistair MacLean, who could sell just about any story as long as he only told his readers half of it up front.
For director Anderson, it would seem his primary challenge was presenting two major stars on screen at the same time — a daunting task, but one that he manages well thanks to Gary Cooper and Charlton Heston's distinct styles.
