Ernest Cox

Ernest Cox

Ernest F. G. Cox (1883–1959) was an engineer and marine salvage expert from Wolverhampton. Between 1924 and 1931 his Cox & Danks Shipbreaking Co. successfully raised 35 of the German fleet that had been scuttled at Gutter Sound, Scapa Flow in 1919. He eventually sold the business to the Alloa Shipbreaking Company. The books in the Further reading list give good accounts of Cox's many feats.
