He was an unsuccessful merchant with seven children,desperate to find a means of retrieving the family fortune. At the age of 40 he dug a pond in the orchard of his back garden. In it he experimented diving in a sealed barrel, and found he could remain submerged for half an hour. He became so successful at using it, that in 1715 he launched his 'Diving Engine' which was a new barrel, constructed by a cooper in London. He was requested to salvage wrecks by the English and Dutch East India Companies, subsequently successfully recovering gold and silver in many places worldwide. * see pages 190-191, vol 2, 'Diving Helmets and Equipment Through The Ages'.
