Frank Reade, Jr.'s Search for the Silver Whale Or, Under the Ocean in the Electric "Dolphin"

"Frank Reade, Jr.'s Search for the Silver Whale" by Luis Senarens is an early 20th-century narrative about Frank Reade, Jr., a brilliant young inventor, who embarks on an extraordinary underwater adventure. Determined to build a submarine called the Dolphin, Frank, alongside his friend George Stanhope and trusty companions Barney and Pomp, sets out to capture a fabled silver whale. Their ambitious quest is driven by a desire to uncover evidence that will exonerate an innocent man wrongly imprisoned, whose case is tied to Stanhope's acquaintance. As they construct the Dolphin, the group prepares for a perilous journey, brimming with the promise of underwater discoveries and the ever-present threat of ocean dangers like sharks, all in pursuit of justice and the elusive whale beneath the waves.
