Summary: "The Harbor Master" by Theodore Goodridge Roberts is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in a coastal hamlet called Chance Along, the narrative revolves around Black Dennis Nolan, a young man who transforms his impoverished fishing community into a group of unscrupulous wreckers. As the story unfolds, Nolan's ambitions and cunning set the stage for conflict both with his own community and the shipwreck victims they exploit. The opening of the book introduces the treacherous setting of Chance Along, where Black Dennis Nolan, following his father's death, schemes to convert his people's fishing endeavors into wreck salvaging. Armed with a small schooner and a team of largely impoverished fishermen, Nolan encounters resistance from some men in the village, particularly from Foxey Jack Quinn, whose defiance leads to conflict. As Nolan begins to execute his plans for wealth at the peril of stranded sailors, a storm prompts the arrival of a shipwreck, setting the stage for Nolan's ruthless ambition to unfold further.
