| Summary | "Caleb West, Master Diver" by Francis Hopkinson Smith is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows the character of Henry Sanford, an ambitious and optimistic young engineer, as he embarks on the construction of a challenging lighthouse on Shark Ledge, relying on the expertise of his friend Captain Joe and the skilled diver Caleb West.

At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a bustling city awakening to the morning sun, setting the stage for Henry Sanford, who is eager to begin work on his lighthouse project.

Sanford's anticipation is palpable, and as he prepares for the task ahead, the reader is introduced to a cast of characters including the sturdy and reliable Captain Joe and the experienced diver Caleb West. Their camaraderie and determination to overcome the challenges posed by the sea convey a sense of adventure and resilience, drawing readers into the unfolding story.
