It's sitting on my shelf... snuggling up against "The Lonely Ships" (Edwin P. Hoyt).

I read the book a couple of weeks ago. It is very good, maybe excellent. While the rescue of the sailors on the sunken Squalus and her salvage are the core of the book, I would say that Swede Momsen is its focus (the writer knew him).
